The approved curriculum should not be changed
Curricula are valid for a period of two academic years. They are not meant to be changed during the two-year period. Students have a right to assume that the information in a curriculum is reliable, that for example the courses are not cancelled and e.g. course assessment criteria or period are not changed during the time the curriculum is valid. This applies also to studies required towards the degree.
As a rule, no changes may be made to a curriculum during the two-year period when it is valid. These include changes to the intended learning outcomes and degree requirements of the programmes and study modules, as well as changes to the course descriptions. At times, changes are however unavoidable and justified. Read here what kinds of changes are possible and how the matter is decided.
