| In short |
Seen an interesting course or minor at an other Dutch University? That's also possible. It might require some paperwork. Request permission at least six week beforehand. FPN finances the course or minor if you are a student who pays the statutory tuition fee for your UM programme. |
Orientation
Some students are so invested in a topic that they find a perfect fitting minor or elective at an other university. FPN will approve these courses if they meet the following (general) requirements:
- The elective should be at the level of second year bachelor or higher
- Content should not overlap or only minimally with mandatory courses of the FPN bachelor program
- Content should be related to the objectives of the FPN bachelor program
FPN finances the course or minor if you are a student who pays the statutory tuition fee for your UM programme. If you pay the higher institutional tuition fee, for example as a 'contract student', payment is something you have to arrange with the host institution.
