The UT has several documents that state the rights and obligations of students, which you can find in the list below. This list includes the general students' charter of the UT, as well as the programme specific EER (Education and Examination Regulations, previously known as OER in Dutch).
The Education and Examination Regulation (EER) of the faculty EEMCS states the conditions with regard to knowledge, insight and skills for students to obtain a degree, rules regarding education and examinations, and the tasks and competences of the examination boards. One of the tasks of the examination board of EEMCS is to set up Rules and Guidelines (R&G) on how to execute the requirements and powers from the EER. When making a request to the examination board you need both the information in the EER and the R&G.
General regulations regarding the rights and obligations each UT student has (this information is also available in Dutch, if you switch to the Dutch-language website) | |
On this website you can find the Master Guideline Education and Examination Regulations. For each programme, including Robotics, you will also find a programme-specific appendix to the guidelines. | |

Rules Examinations
At the start of the academic year, for every student a timetable of teaching activities and examinations is available. This timetable shows, among other things, the weeks in which examination are held. Any changes, such as, for instance, the examination dates, will be announced via the Blackboard sites of the courses concerned and through Education announcements. So no new timetables will be distributed among the students if any changes might occur.
For the sake of students’ and teachers’ clarity the starting time of written examinations is identical to the first morning or afternoon lecture respectively. So:
- morning examinations start at 08.45h
- afternoon examinations start at 13.45h
Timetables of examinations are available on http://my.utwente.nl/.
GENERAL RULES
