Modules

In the the new educational model, curricula are build up from modules. One module has a length of 10 weeks and will exist of 15 EC, exactly one quartile in the current system. Every module exists out of two parts: a project part and a few sub-courses. For every bachelor there are certain mandatory modules.

Every module has multiple testing moments. Within the project this will be a group examination, for the courses this will probably be an individual examination. The student gets a final result for the whole module.

When will the new bachelors start?
