Please note that the planning app may show multiple courses per quartile, but only three are part of
your individual program. You should select those courses that are part of your program and your
specialisation. For the base courses, see below.
Which variants for Basic courses for which specialisation
Below you can find an overview of the basic courses and the recommendations per specialisation.
When you change your specialisation (or major) during the Bachelor, it is possible you followed an
other Basic Course. Speak to your lecturer or coach in this case, because it is possible you have to
gain some additional knowledge to succesfully complete your new specialisation (or major).

Planning of USE learning lines
A USE learning line consists of three courses. The first and second course is scheduled in two
consecutive quartiles, the third course (a project) is scheduled twice a year, i.e. in the quartiles the
first and second courses are not scheduled.

How often are USE electives offered?
To reduce planning issues, it is decided that all USE learning lines offer the third course in two
quartiles at least. More detailed information will be available in oase and the planning app.
When is the final project BEP scheduled?
The first opportunity to start BEP is Q3-Q4 in 2014-2015. This is still not formally decided yet, though
we count on the scheduling of BEP twice a year. To start with BEP you need to pass your first year
(propedeuse) first. In principle Bep is scheduled for an entire semester, this is two quaertiles. Please
note that this is not correctly shown in the planninig app.
When do I need to motivate my choice of electives for the Exam Committee?
Only if your choice does not meet the requirement of at least 25 ects in two elective packages.
There is only a small set of electives in Q1 2013-2014, what should I do?
This is true. Many packages require prior knowledge from major courses in the second year. Starting
in Q1 of your third year, the set f electives is better. We recommend to start with a USE learning line
in year 2.
Are four courses in a quartile allowed?
Yes.
Are two courses in a single timeslot allowed?
It is not prohibited, but not recommended at all! You should participate actively in both courses,
which is a problem in case of overlapping hours. Teachers don’t take planning of other courses in the
same timeslot into account when scheduling intermediate tests, presentations, etc. Planning of final
tests do not consider these issues as well.
What should be the size of the entire studyload?
The package should include 180 etcs. More is allowd, provided that the Exam Committee agrees
with your proposal. It is possible to subscribe for a course if it is part of your study package. The
extra ects credits are no part of the package and are not considered as an ‘exam package’. So you
are welcome to do more than 180 ects, but the exam committee needs toagree and it should be part
of your study package.
Is it possible to do two majors?
Yes, this is possible. Submit your proposal to the Exam Committee if this is an option for you. Please
take into account that ‘bi-diplomering’, i.e. two bachelor degrees, requires a total study load of at
least 225 ects.
For SI-students: Is it possible to continue with the master Sustainable
Energy Technology (SET)?
Yes, dependent on the technical variant you have chosen and the electives your are selecting. The
acceptantce committee of the matser SET has not formally agreed yet, but we expect the following
requirements:
