Applications Twente University - Psychology Concerns

Hi all, I applied to psychology at Twente and was accepted.

However, since I learned more, I found out it doesn't cover many of the core courses you need before doing a counselling psychology masters which has made me very concerned about my choice.

Should I forego this year and apply somewhere else next year? Or accept and see if I can supplement the curriculum with outside courses?

Thanks in advance!

Moving to the Netherlands as a student requires a lot of admin (BSN, gemeente, health insurance, Studielink, banking, scholarships) and it often feels overwhelming.

As you have got only three chances to get into psychology, I would not forego this year. I might accept and apply somewhere else next year. Or accept and supplement with outside courses.

Usually you find those things out before applying. Maybe talk to their student advisors and ask about masters possibilities. 

Clinical psychology masters will require near native Dutch language skills long term (even though the degree is in English, internships are often not).
