Mandatory courses
Mandatory courses are courses that you have to take at specific points in a specific order during the course of your studies. The courses are often divided into lectures or class teaching and following exercises.
1st semester students are administratively registered for their mandatory courses on their first semester, but from there on students need to register for their mandatory courses in the registration periods.
Electives
Electives are courses that you decide on yourself, but you must choose electives that are within the objectives of your programme.
You can use an elective to steer your studies towards your individual interests, to inspire you for future projects or to supplement future specialisations.
The elective course list
You choose from the elective course list outlined for your programme. The courses are all pre-approved by the different departments offering the courses as electives for your programme .
The courses are considered within the curricula of your programme and they are chosen from the perspective that the majority of students on the programme will have the basic qualifications to succeed on the course.
