ECTS and choice of subject
Students who started in September 2009 or later write their thesis for 20.0 ECTS. Their thesis is part of their track and therefore the subject of the thesis must fit in the track.
Students who started earlier write their thesis for less ECTS. Their thesis is not part of their track and therefore these students are free to pick their subject. Check for the correct number of ECTS the website . If you write the thesis for less then 20.0 ECTS, do mention this to your supervisor!
Language
English or Dutch. It is up to the student and the supervisor to decide what language is used.
