What else do I need to know before I start a minor at another university?
You can follow a minor at the beginning of your third bachelor year. A minor is a coherent package of subjects/courses, with which you specialize or broaden your horizon.
At the EUR we offer both broadening and deepening minor. For students from Leiden University and TU Delft only the broadening minors are available.
The minor education is, based on the level of education and time spent, specially designed for third year bachelor students.
The minor education is given in the first 10 weeks of the academic year. This means that the minor period at the EUR is from September till the beginning of November. Resits are in the summer (beginning of July).
The minor education at the TU Delft is given in the first 20 weeks of the academic year. At the University of Leiden the education can take place during the whole academic year. Please consult the schedules from the minors in Leiden and Delft and the joint-LDE minors to avoid overlap with compulsory courses in your bachelor programme.
Minors at the EUR are 15 EC. There are some exceptions where we offer 30 EC minors. Following a minor requires a full-time commitment (40 hours per week) during the first 10 weeks of the academic year. It is not possible to follow other courses during this period
Minors at the TU Delft are 30 EC, some minors are also available in a 15 EC version.
Minors at Leiden University are 30 EC, most minors are also available in a 15 EC version.
From 8 May 13.00 hrs up to 12 May 13.00h 2023 you can register for a minor via eduXchange.
For minors in which a place is still available after the first round, you can register in eduXchange from 16 May 13.00h up until 31 May 23.59 hrs 2023. From 1 June 13:00 hrs until 14 July 23:59 hrs 2023 it is only possible to register for EUR-minors where there are places available.
All registration rounds are on a fist come, first served basis.
In order to register your grades at the EUR you need to hand in a certified Study Progress Overview to you home faculty.
The rules of the attended faculty apply to a minor. These are included in the Teaching and Examination Regulations (OER) and the Rules and Regulations (R&R) of the relevant faculty.
Example
When you follow a minor from ESL, the OER and R&R from ESL are applicable.
A partial result from a minor is valid for 1 academic year. If you do not complete the minor with a sufficient grade within that academic year, the partial results are no longer valid.
All minors are taught in the same period. Following a minor requires a full-time commitment (40 hours per week) during the first 10 weeks of the academic year. Therefore, it is not possible to follow two minors at the same time.
If you did not complete your minor with a sufficient grade, you can reapply for a minor in May via eduXchange. Be advised: there is no guarantee that you will be placed on the same minor.
