• An LLM requires at least 60 ECTS.
• Include all courses, even those you haven’t completed yet.
• Place additional courses beyond the minimum ECTS in the extracurricular courses section.

This is taken care of in Progress. Follow these steps to register for graduation:

• Go to 'Registrations' and select 'Faculty of Law'.
• Choose 'Application degree certificate/approval courses' and select '1^st master degree Law LLM (code MABULLLM)' or '2^nd or 3^rd', depending how many LLMs you participate in
• If applicable, choose the track you are completing
• Submit the list of courses for evaluation, also if you have not completed all courses yet.

Ensure your list of courses is correct and complete. Place courses in the appropriate categories (e.g., compulsory courses, seminar, Law in Practice). Any extra courses you have taken should be placed in the section extracurricular credits.

An aberrant examination adjusts the standard exam setup or schedule to prevent disproportionate delays in your study programme.

The Board of Examiners decides whether or not you will be granted an aberrant examination. While often an oral exam, the examiner decides format, but also the timing.

Exams typically follow the schedule and format outlined in the Teaching and Examination Regulations, Ocasys, and the exam schedule. However, if you are faced with unacceptable delay, the Board of Examiners may approve an aberrant examination.

An aberrant examination is only granted in extraordinary and pressing cases under strict conditions. Only the Board of Examiners can approve them.

For more details including the conditions, please check the Aberrant Examination Regulation.

The Faculty offers tailored support for students with impairments, disabilities and/or chronic illnesses. Since every situation is unique, contact the study advisers for assistance.

Complete the request aberrant examination regulation form of the Board of Examiners.

Once approved:

• Contact the examiner to arrange the details.
• The exam must occur within two months of the Board of Examiners' decision.
• You must be registered as a student at the time of the exam. Without valid registration, the examiner cannot conduct the exam, and your result will not be processed.

Note
Do not submit a request for an aberrant examination for your final course if you have not completed all other components. The Board of Examiners cannot approve such requests.
