academic year 2010-2011 - Gerrit Rietveld Academie

Repeating the first assessment
If a student fails the first assessment, he/she will be able
to repeat the assessment as follows:
The student takes a repeat assessment at the end of the
current academic year.
If the student passes the repeat assessment, he/she will
sit the final examination in the December of the
following academic year.
During the second semester of the current academic year,
the student will be supervised by the same lecturers as
during the first semester; from the September of the
following year, the student will be supervised by the
lecturers then teaching the final year students.
The final examination exhibition is held at the academy,
depending on the number of students concerned, either in
the gymnasium, the pavilion or the exhibition area in the
new building.
Examination
The study programme is concluded with a public exhibition of
the student’s work. The work displayed at this exhibition must
at least include the examination project defined in
consultation with the supervising lecturers, possibly
supplemented with work produced at earlier stages of the study
programme. This exhibition takes place, in principle, at the
end of the academic year. Alternative arrangements may be
mutually agreed upon.
Repeat examination
A student who has failed an examination will be entitled to
take a repeat examination. This will be taken in consultation
with the department coordinator and the supervising lecturers.
8.11 Certificate/Diploma
Students who pass the final examination will be awarded the
Gerrit Rietveld Academie diploma together with the Diploma
Supplement specifying the study programme and specialisation.
8.11.1 Title

Bachelor’s degree. Fine Arts graduates may consequently use
the title BFA and Design graduates may use the title BDes.
8.11.2 Graduating cum laude
Should an examining committee be of the unanimous opinion that
a student may graduate cum laude, they will notify the
Executive Board accordingly, in consultation with the
department coordinator.
