Here you can find important documents, regulations and procedures applicable to Applied Mathematics (AM) students.
There are specific requirements for getting access to some parts of the AM bachelor programme, for example, for the minor in modules 9 and 10 and the graduation semester in modules 11 and 12. If you would like to learn more about these requirements, please refer to the current EER for the AM bachelor programme.
Any course is assessed by an exam. This exam can consist of a number of tests and varies per course. The way in which the tests lead to the exam result is laid down in a test plan for each course. This plan is published at least two weeks before the start of the module on the Canvas page. Where and when the tests will take place can be found in the module’s timetable. Any changes, for example test data, will be made announced on the module’s Canvas page.
GENERAL RULES
An overview of all the rules concerning assessment can be found in the Education and Examination Regulations (EER), Article 4 – Education and Examination.
If, for whatever reason, you have to change your BSc programme, please fill out the accompanying form and send it to the examination board (address on the form). Your study advisor or the programme coordinator may help you with this matter.
First-year students and second-year students with a postponed recommendation will receive their proposed final recommendation (bsa) by email in mid-August. You find the specific AM rules regarding the binding recommendation in the EER 2025-2026, article 8.4.
Any student who does not agree with the proposed recommendation may request a hearing with the AM programme board within five workdays following the date of the email. Please do so by sending an email to secr-edu-eemcs@utwente.nl with subject “Request for bsa AM hearing”. After five workdays, the proposed decision will turn into a definitive binding recommendation automatically.
The date of the hearing will be in the second half of August 2026. After the hearing, the programme board will inform you, by email, about the decision. The latter will be your final bsa.
In case of personal circumstances, you must inform your study advisor and submit your assessment application before 30 June. Therefore, you must have a meeting with the study advisor well before 30 June.
For more information, you may visit the Student Services webpage on the binding recommendation.
The Bachelor examination
The student's bachelor programme is concluded with a final examination, by which it is decided whether a student has passed. Students should inform us if they want to apply the "compensation 5" regulation to the final examination.
When you are nearly finished with all your bachelor's courses, please use the form below to request how you would like that regulation to be applied. (Usually, you do this upon finishing your bachelor's assignment.)
Please send your completed form to BOZ-AM via email (boz-am@utwente.nl).
There is one bachelor graduation ceremony per year. In 2026, this ceremony is scheduled to take place in October; the exact date will be announced.
