Register for your courses and exams

For most programmes you will need to register for courses and exams yourself. Check the overview below to see what applies to you.

Important

You will only be able to attend courses, (connected) labs, skill trainings, exams and resits for which you have a valid registration. This registration will give you access to the course materials, such as the course manual and recordings.
Register online via the Student Portal during the designated registration windows. The Student Portal will notify you when registration is open.

Please note: The registration interface may also show you courses from other years or other programmes that you are not required to take.

From 1 June each year, you can register for your courses for the whole upcoming academic year. By registering in advance, you reduce the risk of not being able to attend a course. It is your responsibility to register for courses and exams, so make sure you do not miss any registration deadlines! If you decide not to attend a course, don't forget to deregister!

If you have not taken or have not passed the exam for a course in the previous year(s) but have met the attendance requirement, you only need to take the exam. Rather than registering just for the exam, we recommend that you register for the whole course (which always includes the first exam). This will give you access to the course materials from the start of the period.

Overview

You must register for courses (and connected practicals) and exams (including resits) yourself if you follow one of these programmes: - Bachelor Psychology year 1, 2 & 3 (cohort 2023-2024 and earlier) - Bachelor Psychology year 1: period 4, 5 & 6 (cohort 2024-2025) - Bachelor Brain Science year 1: period 4, 5 & 6 - Master Psychology - Research master Cognitive and Clinical Neuroscience - Master Forensic Psychology
The Education Office registers all courses and exams (incl. practicals and resits) for: - Bachelor Psychology cohort 2024-2025 period 1, 2 & 3 (from period 4 onwards you need to register for your courses and exams yourself) - Bachelor Brain Science period 1, 2 & 3 (from period 4 onwards you need to register for your courses and exams yourself) - International Joint Master of Research in Work and Organisational Psychology - Master Mental Health - Pre-master Mental Health - Pre-master Psychology - Exchange students (incoming)

Focus points

2024-2025
1 - All courses, practicals and skill trainings.	• A course registration always includes the first exam. You do not need to register for the first exam separately. • A course registration does not include the corresponding practicals. You also need to register for those modules separately. • Third-year bachelor Psychology students (also those who take electives at another faculty in the Netherlands or abroad): for period 1 you need to register for Skills V (PSY/IPN3131), the corresponding practicals Portfolio (PSY/IPN3159) and Quick Career Advice (PSY/IPN3160), and, of course, the courses in period 4, 5 and 6. • Courses that have entrance requirements can only be booked once the entrance requirement has been fulfilled. Courses with entrance requirements are: Portfolio Practicals, Research Practical PSY/IPN2027, Statistics II (PSY/IPN2028), Statistics III (PSY/IPN3008) and Psychodiagnostics (PSY/IPN3109). See art. 4.2 of the Education and Examination Regulation for details. • Master Psychology, specialisation Work & Organisational Psychology: make sure to book Research Methods (PSY4094). • There are courses where your preference matters, see below for more information.
2 – Exam & resit - registration	• Most courses offer two exam opportunities per academic year: a (first) exam directly after the course, and a resit later in the year. (Please note: there are no resits for the courses in the bachelor Psychology programme as of cohort 2024-2025). A course registration always includes the first exam. To register for a resit, use the exam registration window of the period in which the resit takes place. Both exam opportunities are open to students who still need to pass the exam, but already have fulfilled the attendance requirement. In case you did not fulfill the attendance requirement, you cannot participate in the resit. See the exam schedule for the exact dates, times and locations of resits. Taking repeat education might help you to prepare for the exam in case you have not taken or have not passed the exam for a course in the previous year(s). You need to request repeat education separately by sending a message to askpsy@maastrichtuniversity.nl.
