• Programme and Examination Regulations
• Study in numbers

To continue your studies after the first year, you must obtain 50 of the 60 credits (EC; European Credits). The degree programme may also require you to have completed a specific subject as part of the credits standard. This is referred to as a qualitative requirement. If you have met both the credits standard and any qualitative requirements, you will receive a positive study advice from the examination board at the end of your first year and you will be allowed to continue your degree programme.

If you obtain fewer than 50 credits or if you obtain 50 credits but do not meet any qualitative requirements, you will receive a negative study advice and must leave the programme. This is why this advice is referred to as a negative binding study advice (NBSA). 

Personal circumstances can affect your study progress, such as illness or participation in elite sports. It is important to inform the examination board immediately if such personal circumstances occur. The board may take these into account when issuing your study advice.

The full regulations regarding the study advice can be found in Chapter 7 of the Education and Examination Regulations (OER, Onderwijs- en Examenregeling) of your degree programme.
