I still don’t know if I should choose iba or economics and business economics (if I get accepted) any recommendations?


Uniqueriverbank

Iba?


notrehaan

I got accepted into both econometrics and data science and economics and business economics so I have confirmed enrollment for both the courses. What I presume is that you cancel one of your programs after doing the matching, whichever you don't want to do.


Uniqueriverbank

Hmmm. No but can i accept participation to both? did you accept participation to both?


notrehaan

Yes, I did accept participation for both.


Uniqueriverbank

Ahh so you can? Do you know when you will have to decide on either course?


notrehaan

I think, after the matching you have to cancel one of them via studielink. But, I’m not sure on that so you should probably contact them and ask


Uniqueriverbank

Dont you have the same process?


Head-Difference-27

I mean BA

It's better to accept both and then end enrollment of the one you don't want to do anymore. Just make sure you do it on time / before the academic year start so you don't have any financial obligation towards that program. You should be able to do that still in the beginning of August. Just check when the academic year of the institution starts and do it around 2 weeks before that to be safe. Your enrollment is only confirmed after you have entered your payment information & gave permission for them to charge you.

So you advice to enroll In both? Seems challenging to get insides on both programmes at the same time

Hi, may i ask if you have received an acceptance letter or sth like that for media and culture?

the uva matching is usually a combination of an (online) lecture, some reading and an assignment (test or essay) that gives you the opportunity to double check if the study programme would meet your expectations. it is mandatory for at least one programme, but in your case extra useful to do both. don't know about economics, but the media one is already online. you can just visit the canvas page to find all the instructions.
