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.
The changes are only available in Dutch:
Spreading scenarios
Following a shortened programme or spreading your programme? Take a look at the spreading scenarios for the bridging programme, the shortened bachelor's and preparatory programme (Law) and the bachelor's (Criminological Sciences). The proposals are for both day students, and working students.

- You're a bachelorstudent with low/insufficient learning credit and want guidance with composing your study path.
- You're in a difficult or exceptionl situation (such as psychosocial or health issues)
The study path counselors can be reached via the same e-mail address. Behind the scenes, your question will be assigned to the right person. Please mention your student number and study programme for a smooth processing.
