Tasks and competences
According to the the Dutch Higher Education and Research Act (WHW) each educational programme or group of programmes has an examination board. The examination board is the forum that determines whether a student has fulfilled the conditions with regard to knowledge, insight and skills as stated in the Education and Examination Regulation (EER) of this university in order to receive a degree in one of the BMS programmes. The examination board has several other tasks and competences according to the WHW and the EER. One of these competences is to make exceptions to the rules for students, such as exemptions, free educational programmes and extra exam or test opportunities. For that students can submit a request to the examination board on this website. The examination board also judges cases of fraud (plagiarism) and determines the sanctions. Furthermore the examination board is commissioned to set out policy for safeguarding quality of testing and examination. Therefore they appoint examiners for administering and grading tests and exams, they monitor the relationship between final attainment targets, learning goals and tests, and safeguard the quality of the assessment of theses.
The meetings of the examination boards are held on a regulary basis. The dates of these meetings can be found in the yearly schedule
Four examination boards
The Faculty of BMS has four examination boards that each represents a group of specific educational programmes. In the boards there are members for each individual programme. The WHW states that at least one member must be appointed that is not associated with one of the programmes represented in the board. The compositions of the four boards are below.
The examination boards of BMS are supported by the registry.
