The binding study advice is lowered this year for first-year EUR students. The university is lowering the norm because of the corona crisis, just like the past two years.<\/p>\n

Instead of all sixty credits, 51 to 54 credits \u2013 which varies per programme \u2013 are enough to start the second year. In all programmes a less strict binding study advice applies. Medicine and the part-time programmes of the Erasmus School of Law use a different number of ECs, the binding study advice is normally lower there as well.<\/p>\n

The fourteen Dutch universities already announced last week that they would lower<\/a> the binding study advice by 10 to 15 percent. With this relaxation, they hope to take away some of the stress that the coronation measures cause to students.<\/p>\n

Future bsa uncertain<\/h2>

In the past two academic years, the university also relaxed<\/a> the binding study advice because of corona. Meanwhile, the future of the binding study advice is uncertain. The new cabinet writes in the coalition agreement that it will be adjusted<\/a> so that students can still achieve the score standard in the second year.<\/p>\n\n\t
