Education / Pedagogy | | Dutch term or phrase: instapprogramma | | hoe kan ik "instapprogramma" het beste vertalen? De context is: "(een student met een bachelortitel) Is toelaatbaar tot een aansluitende masteropleiding van een Technische Universiteit waarbij soms een instapprogramma gevolgd moet worden". Ik denk zelf aan a) preliminary programme; b) introductory programme; c) entry programme. Een collega van me zegt "bridging year". Wat vinden jullie? |

Explanation:
bridging year is niet juist.
er zijn andere soorten voorbereidende jaren of programmas. zonder meer details is het moeilijk te zeggen.

I think that Preparatory Year is very commonly used - including by Leiden University.
the notion of "bridging year" is also possible, but it raises the question of what is being bridged.
