Every Bachelor’s, Master’s and Minor programme must meet a number of requirements. These requirements are set by the Faculty, and range from internal coherence to course size and from the number of contact hours to the level of the lectures.

Each programme has a Board of Examiners. This is a legal requirement. The board determines whether students meets the conditions of the Course and Examination Regulations (OER) and whether they possess the knowledge, understanding and skills required to pass the final examination for that programme.

Every faculty has its own procedures with respect to registering for courses and examinations, BSA, handing in grades, publishing timetables, etc. For more information, see your Faculty’s tab.
