Programme changes
Programme changes may take place annually. Some of them are rather limited (e.g. a change of title of a course) and have no further impact on your study path. Others are more drastic (e.g. changes in the number of credits, merging of two courses, creation of a new course...) and can have an impact on the further course of your study programme or year programme.
If a programme change has an impact on your track, you will be informed of it by e-mail at the start of the new academic year.
Programme changes
Attention! Due to the programme changes, Bachelor Ingenieurswetenschappen-Architectuur and Master Architectural Engineering students, cannot register their courses themselves.
