Module Descriptions

Each module (course) has an official description (syllabus). The various learning outcomes and topics that are to be addressed by the teaching staff in the module are listed here, along with some helpful resources. These should be useful for incoming students and their advisors to decide on appropriate equivalences between universities.

Timetables

• Time tables are usually announced some weeks before the semester starts. 
• You will get them by email. It might happen that two of the courses you've chosen overlap, in that case you will need to modify your learning agreement. 
• You cannot visit courses/modules in which lectures, practical training and the like overlap. 

• You will have some weeks after the semester has started to hand in a changed learning agreement. Please note that changed learning agreements are only signed after your home university has signed them.

   

During & after your study time at our faculty

Examination Periods

There are two periods of examinations in the Faculty of Technology and Bionics. The principal periods are in January/February and July. Examinations are usually scheduled in the examination period immediately following the course. Note that sometimes exams are scheduled for the time after the semester has officially ended.

Homework and Term Papers

Some courses are not assessed with examinations at all. In these courses, the professor can choose instead to assign a set of homework or a term paper. Deadlines may vary, and can be any time in the semester, up to the last day, namely the 31st of August or 28th of February. It is not typically necessary for visiting students to stay in Kleve after the official examination period, but if you take a course which is assessed in this way, make sure to check with the instructor about physical presence requirements.

Exams without grades

Sometimes and especially when you have assignments in your class rather than an exam you will not get a grade but only a "failed" or "passed". If your home university requires you to have a grade make sure to contact our academic exchange coordinator early so that this problem can be solved.

Failed exams

In case you've failed an exam at our faculty and would like to re-take it make sure to let our academic exchange coordinator know as early as possible. We cannot guarantee a re-take but we will look for possible solutions.
