Entry requirements and exemptions
In some programmes, there may be entry requirements for certain courses, for example that you have passed a previous course. Sometimes, there is the possibility to apply for an exemption from the entry requirement.
Entry requirements
In programmes, it is common for courses to have entry requirements. This means you need certain knowledge to start the next course. For example, you may need to have completed or passed a previous course.
Entry requirements exist to ensure you can follow the teaching and get the most out of the course.
If there are entry requirements for your education, they will be described in the course or programme syllabus.
Your department decides about exemptions
In some cases, you can apply for an exemption from the entry requirements, which allows you to start the course even if you do not meet the requirements. Read the information from your department on this page to find out what applies to your programme.
