Changes in the Forensic Master programme

Educational curricula can change from year to year. Below you will find an overview of both curriculum related and general changes.

Changes starting 2024-2025

Education and Exam Regulation - Applies to students from all cohorts
Art. 2.2 (admission requirements): A letter of recommendation is no longer needed, but applicants do need to provide referent information.

Rules and Regulations - Applies to students from all cohorts
1.    Resits (Article 11): the resit article has been adapted to the common practice that students can also take a resit when they obtained a No Grade (NG) and that resits results will be declared invalid if a student did not comply with the attendance obligation. Finally, the Board of Examiners added a new clause to Article 11 about the resit opportunity for research and clinical internships.
2.    Extra exam or other exam formats (Article 12): This article has been tightened, in the sense that a student can only be granted an extra exam opportunity or another exam format once in case of one (i.e. the final) outstanding exam.
3.    Fraud and plagiarism (Articles 15 to 17): the old fraud article has been overhauled and reorganised in three separate articles for readability – one article on fraud, one article on plagiarism and one article on the sanctions in case of fraud and/or plagiarism. Please note that the examples of fraud and plagiarism mentioned in these articles are not meant to be exhaustive.
