Study progress requirements

The pre-master program of 30 credits has to be completed within the first year (max. two semesters), otherwise the student is not allowed to continue in the master program. Furthermore, the student is not allowed in the pre-master program for a period of three years. The study progress requirement does not apply to students who have submitted a request to ESA to withdraw before March 1^st and who have not re-registered for another pre-master program at TU/e. 

Pre-master students receive a written pre-recommendation on their study progress halfway the third quarter. This pre-recommendation serves as a warning if the student is making insufficient study progress. At the end of the pre-master set term, students receive a binding written study progress decision relating to their continuation of the master program. The study progress decision is: 

1. Positive, if the pre-master student has passed the complete pre-master program within the set term. As soon as the pre-master program is successfully completed, the student can start with the master program. 

2. Negative, if the pre-master student has failed to meet the provisions stated under 1.
