Introductory and Orientation Period (STeOP)

 

 

The introductory and orientation period (STEOP) is a chance for students in their first semester to get an insight into the degree programme and its contents. This way they can better assess whether the degree programme meets their personal expectations and whether they will be able to meet its demands.

Curricula

According to the curriculum, you are supposed to complete the STEOP examinations in the first semester. Only after passing all STEOP examinations, you can attend additional courses and take further examinations.
You may attend courses with non-continuous assessment already before completing the STEOP and without registration via U:SPACE. However, you will only be able to take the corresponding examinations if you have already completed the STEOP.

The recommended timetable for completing the courses is available in the appendix to your curriculum.

Introductory and Orientation Period (STeOP) examinations

 

Students are allowed to repeat examinations from the introductory and orientation period (STEOP) three times, which means that four attempts are permitted in total.   The fourth and last examination attempt has to be heard by an examination committee.

If you do not pass the examination before the examination committee, you will be temporarily withdrawn from the degree programme (further information about the StEOP is available on the Student Point website).

There are two examinations dates per semester, which are set in a way that students can continue their studies in the next semester after having completed the introductory and orientation period.
Examinations are held in December/January and January/February for the winter semester and in May/June and June/July for the summer semester.
