3 The third competency exam serves to assess whether a student has developed the<br />
required competencies during the second <strong>and</strong> third years of study to a sufficient degree (all<br />
10 competencies at level 2). The result of the competency exam is used to advise the<br />
board of examiners, on the basis of which the board of examiners will decide whether the<br />
student is competent to enter the graduation phase, <strong>and</strong> as a result, is allowed to carry out<br />
his graduation plan. The graduation track of a regular student comprises an entire<br />
academic year (60 ECTS credits = 1680 hours). The graduation track of a fast-track<br />
student comprises half an academic year (30 ECTS credits = 840 hours).<br />
4 The fourth <strong>and</strong> final competency exam serves to assess whether the student is qualified to<br />
start operating independently in the professional field. Based on the result of the<br />
competency exam, the board of examiners will make a decision. If this decision is positive,<br />
the student will receive his bachelor’s degree.<br />

credits that belong to the competency exam according to the curriculum.<br />
