Study abroad: major or elective courses in semester 2
While you are studying abroad, your fellow students in Nijmegen are not only taking courses from the minor they chose, but are also taking one or two courses (10 EC total) from your own degree programme.*
In the following overview you can see if you need to take these major courses in the second semester of if you can choose one or more electives.
Please note: Check whether all courses are in the right place in your SVO (study progress overview). If this is not the case, send an email to the STIP (stip@let.ru.nl) in which you indicate which course(s) replace the major course(s) of the first semester. If you want to replace the major course(s) with courses from different disciplinary packages OR from other faculties/universities, you have to submit a request to the Examination Board (request a custom (inter)disciplinary package).
