In 1999, it was decided at European level to harmonise the educational sustem within the European Union: all program within higher education were translated into the so-called bachelor-master structure. This structure comes that students first do a bachelor program, which can be followed by a master of science program. Advantages for students, the flexibility is one of the benefits of this new structure: after obtaining the BSc-certificate it is possible to (temporarily) leave university. However, most students will continue their academic carreer, by doing a Master of Science program. This can be done at their own university, but also at another, foreign university. A MSc-titel automatically gives the graduate the possibility to start a PhD-programme.
