Your Learning Agreement can be signed, but if there is a course that not yet is confirmed at, it is a preliminary agreement, and we cannot guarantee that you will be admitted to the course. It is possible to update the Learning agreement at a later stage.

You do have the possibility to change courses, until the 5 January (Spring) and 13 August (Autumn). Please keep in mind that changing courses requires a lot of work for teachers and staff, so before making any changes, check the schedule and requirements very carefully.

Verify the prerequisites and assume prior knowledge for each course.
