Matching Wanneer je een studiekeuze hebt gemaakt, wil je natuurlijk zeker weten dat je goed zit. Door deel te nemen aan de verplichte matchingsactiviteit van je opleiding, kom je erachter of de studie bij je past. Tijdens de matchingsactiviteit krijg je verschillende onderdelen aangeboden; zo volg je bijvoorbeeld een college en maak je een toets. Met behulp van de feedback op de gemaakte toets en/of een gesprek met een ouderejaars student of docent, kun je voor jezelf een goede inschatting maken of je matcht met de opleiding.
