OER Faculty of Law
Bachelor's and Master's 2026-2027
With effect from the 2026/2027 academic year, the Faculty of Law at Radboud University has switched from a cohort-based Study Regulations to an annual Study Regulations. This means that the provisions of the current Study Regulations apply to all students enrolled on one of the degree programmes offered by the faculty. This also applies to students who were already enrolled on one of the degree programmes offered by the Faculty prior to the 2026/2027 academic year, unless otherwise specified in one of the specific transitional arrangements set out in Chapter 2 or 3 of this document. In the event that the transition from cohort-based OER to year-based OER results in a student being disadvantaged in a way not already covered by a specific transitional arrangement, a suitable solution will be sought on an individual basis.
