Application for an exemption within a programme

The application will be considered on the basis of your specific reasons and whether you can be considered as being able to complete the course/courses even if you do not meet the prerequisite knowledge requirements.

You can submit an application for an exemption if you believe that:

• the University has not given you the opportunity to re-sit the examination or do the supplementary courses that are included in the prerequisite knowledge requirements under the rules that are stated in the University ”Rules for course coordination and examination(pdf, 212 kB)”, such as in accordance with points 4, 6, 7, 8, 11, 17, 18 or 20.
• the University has not published the prerequisite knowledge requirements for the programme course in the official course syllabus on the programme website
• you can present the manner in which you can pass/complete the new programme course without meeting the prerequisite knowledge requirements.

The University recommends that you apply for an exemption via a special application form that the University provides on the website. This to ensure that the information needed is received in a comprehensive manner and to facilitate a legally secure assessment of the application and to minimize the processing time. Application for an exemption(pdf, 98 kB)
