This means that students who are registered as a Bachelor's student have to successfully complete their Bachelor's programme before they can register as a Master's student and be admitted to participate in Master's courses and take examinations for these courses. With regard to students taking a pre-Master's programme, they first have to successfully complete their pre-Master's programme before they can take any Master's course.
