a) Students who have followed or are following a bachelor molecular life sciences or chemistry at the Radboud university are obligated to meet the following requirements:

Before the start of the study tour the propedeutics chemistry or molecular life sciences have to be obtained. This means that all courses from the first year must have been passed (one 5 is allowed).
Before the start of the study tour admittance to follow master courses is a needed. This means the possession of at least 162 ECTS in the bachelor.
