Programme specific regulations

The modules are taught in a certain sequence as components of the Bachelor’s programme. Students are recommended to follow this sequence as much as possible. If there are reasons to depart from the sequence, it is important to take the following regulations into account:

●	the first year certificate is awarded if all 60 ECTS credits of the first year programme have been obtained. A grade of 5 for one of the three modules taught during quarter 1.4 can be compensated by a grade of 7 or higher;

●	if the first year certificate has not been obtained by the end of the second year and less than 80 ECTS credits have been obtained in total, then it will not be possible to complete the modules of the last years of the Bachelor’s programme;

●	to participate in the B2 project the student must have completed the first year and obtained minimum 17 ECTS credits of the last years of the Bachelor’s programme;

●	to be able to carry out the Bachelor’s thesis the student must have obtained 88 ECTS credits and completed the B2 project. The department where the thesis is carried out may require that certain modules have been passed;

●	the permission of the Programme Director is required to carry out the Bachelor’s thesis with a Chair outside the Electrical Engineering department;

●	the following modules must have been followed to be able to participate in the Mechatronics project: Mechanics & Transduction Engineering, Measurement Engineering, Dynamic Systems and Control Engineering;

●

the programme enforces a directive student progress evaluation. This entails that students are required to obtain minimum 45 ECTS credits during the first year of study. Students who obtain less than 45 ECTS credits without valid reason will receive a negative recommendation and will not be able to follow an electrical engineering programme in the Netherlands for a period of three years.

Any deviations from these regulations must always be approved by the Examination Board.

Over the years, a number of changes have been implemented in the curriculum as a result of demands from society and developments in science and in secondary education. The study adviser can provide the applicable regulations and advise on the appropriate steps in relation to study progress. All regulations that have been published over the past nine years will be made available via the Electrical Engineering department’s website.

Alongside programme-specific regulations, University-wide regulations also apply. These can be found in the general appendix of this prospectus.

New Teaching and Examination Regulations (OER) are drawn up each year. These encompass both the University-wide and programme specific regulations. The OER is distributed among the first-year students at the start of the academic year.
