Not meeting the starting requirements for a study unit | Request Examination Board BMT-BME

Rules Board of Examiners / OER

Article 9 BME OER

There is a structure and logic in the order of the master’s programme. If you would like to deviate from this structure and/or are not meeting the starting requirements for one of the units (for example the internship or the master’s assignment), you can send in a request to the Board of Examiners. Also if you want to graduate in a research group other than the track specified groups, you need approval of the examination board.

What should you motivate (as much as possible) in your request?

What is your situation and why do you want to deviate from the rules?
What problems do you face if you are obliged to follow the starting requirements?
How much would your studies be delayed?
How are you going to deal with the open subject(s)?
How is the open subject relevant to the continuation of your studies?

Which information do you need to provide?
