Discovery sources

Limitations: Candidate list built from the eight universities with a university medical centre (Amsterdam has two faculties, UvA and VU, within Amsterdam UMC) rather than from a fetched CROHO register export. Alternative selective masters (e.g. research-track masters leading to basisarts) are noted under their faculty, not as separate schools. Ownership not recorded.
