Program Overview

Expansion Pre-Master's Program

The Expansion Pre-Master's program is designed for students who have (almost) nominally completed semester A of their pre-Master's program in Mechanical Engineering. These students are allowed to expand their pre-Master's program with a maximum of 15 credits worth of Master's courses.

Eligibility Criteria

To be eligible for this expansion, students must meet the following conditions:

• They have completed a minimum of 15 credits within the pre-Master's program from semester A courses.
• They can demonstrate sufficient prior knowledge to participate in these specific Master's courses.

Arranging the Expansion

Students who meet the criteria should email their academic advisor with the filled-out pre-Master expansion form for approval. After approval, they must send a request to the Examination Committee to ask permission for this expansion. The Committee will make a decision based on the criteria above. If permission is granted, the student will receive an invoice for these extra courses.

Important Considerations

• It is not possible to complete more than 15 credits worth of Master's courses.
• These extra courses are not part of the study progress requirement. Only if the student successfully completes their standard pre-Master's program in one academic year are they allowed to start the Master's program.
• The credits obtained for these Master's courses will be recorded on the Master's diploma, including the obtained grade.
• The tuition fee for these Master's courses is similar to the fee paid for the pre-Master's courses.
