DUTIES AND COMPETENCES
According to the Dutch Higher Education and Research Act (WHW), each educational programme or group of programmes has an examination board. The examination board is the body that determines whether a student has fulfilled the requirements with regard to knowledge, insight and skills stated in the Education and Examination Regulations (EER) of this university in order to receive a degree in one of the BMS programmes. The examination board has several other duties and competences according to the WHW and the EER. One of these competences is to make exceptions to certain rules in the EER for students, e.g. to grant exemptions, and allow free educational programmes and extra exam or test opportunities. To qualify, students can submit a request to the examination board via this website. The examination board also judges cases of academic misconduct (including irregularities and plagiarism) and determines the sanctions. Furthermore, the examination board is commissioned to safeguard the quality of testing and examination. The examination board appoints examiners for administering and grading tests and exams, monitors the relationship between final attainment levels, learning goals and tests, and safeguards the quality of the assessment of theses.
