- It is possible to mix courses from different study programs. However, the chosen courses should correspond to about 70% of your study program and study level (Bachelor/Master).
- In some courses, only a limited number of places is available. Some may become full during the enrollment period.
- Time schedules are published at the beginning of each semester. If you choose courses from different study programs, the courses may overlap in time and there may be changes in your Learning Agreement. You are allowed to make changes to your Learning Agreement when you arrive.
