Why curriculum revision as of 2008-2009
 Current curriculum is highly regarded and received both national and
international recognition, however:
 We still see the opportunity for further improvements, based on signals and
suggestions of :
* students (evaluations)
* authorities within the university (educational concept)
* external authorities (quality increase in relation to other (inter)national
comparable programmes)
* corporate world
 Developments at university level give rise to changes in the curriculum:
* implementation of the university-wide minor system (extra room for elective
courses)
How to complete your bachelor programme
 Complete the programme that you started
 Courses passed and credits earned remain valid
 Courses you have not passed yet will be replaced by new courses
(equivalence table)
 Transitional arrangements
 Make a study plan on time
The new curriculum
