6.11 Binding Study Advice
The school applies the requirements of the Binding Study Advice (BSA) to first-year
bachelor students. The BSA requires first-year bachelor students to obtain at least 34 ECTS
(of which one course has to be a Quantitative Methods course) during their first year of
study, so as to remain in the study programme. Additionally, the BSA requires first-year
bachelor students to complete their first year of study, which means completing all the
first year courses (60 ECTS), within the period of two years. For extensive information on
the specific requirements of the Binding Study Advice, please check on eleUM.
Personal circumstances
When personal circumstances, like illness or other problems disrupting your study, occur
during your study, inform the academic advisor as quickly as possible. Conversations with
the academic advisor are held strictly confidential. For detailed information on the open
office hours of the student advisors please see chapter 8 and/or check on eleUM.
