Degree certificates & completing a pre-master programme

First year phase (propaedeutic phase )

The propaedeutic phase is the full first year. The administration will check after each block if students are fulfilling the requirements of the first year. When you fulfil these requirements, the administration will change your ‘propaedeutic phase’ registration to a bachelor registration.

First year ceremony

For all students who manage to complete the full first year of their LLB programme within their first year of registration, the International Office will organise a first year completion ceremony. All concerned will receive an invitation to this event. Excellent students will be paid extra tribute to during this ceremony. Repeaters of first year courses are not eligible for this ceremony.
