Registration and Limitations for the Pre-Master programme

Registration and limitations in the pre-master’s programme

  • Pre-master students have a maximum of two chances to pass a course/exam. Within one semester two exam opportunities are offered.  (In a few cases where a student uses his/her second attempt in the next semester (e.g. because of illness at the time of the offered opportunities), this implies a ½ year study delay, with a max. of one year enrolment!).

When a student does not pass a course/exam within two attempts, the student will be excluded from the programme.

  • All pre-master courses must be completed within one year. This is the maximum registration period in the pre-master’s programme.

When a student does not pass all courses within one year, the student will be excluded from the programme.


  • A student can only enter the master’s programme after completing all pre-master courses successfully.
  • The aforementioned rules also imply that you cannot participate in the pre-master's programme again in subsequent years.

Note: The rules mentioned above apply to both full-time and part-time students.
