Important notes


Non-listed courses in Dutch may only be chosen when you can prove your proficiency in
Dutch and show that you meet the academic prerequisites. You also need to have the
approval by the professor concerned.
Make sure you select courses that are offered during your stay. Term 1 indicates the fall
semester. Term 2 corresponds with the spring semester.
Check the timetables on the faculty website to avoid overlap of your courses:

Make sure to regularly check these timetables as they might be liable to small changes to
cope with unexpected circumstances.
