Registration and deregistration

Students who are enrolled in a Master’s programme will be automatically registered for all the required courses of Semesters 1 and 2. The course registration will take place by 30 August at the latest. If you want to deregister for a course, please contact the Student Information Point (STIP).

How to enrol in an elective course

  1. Discuss your options with the coordinator of the Elective course. He / she needs to approve the content of the course, and can give you advice.
  2. Make sure you are enrolled in time. Deadlines and procedures may differ per institute / organisation, so start orientating early on.
  3. Provide all necessary certificates to the Elective coordinator before April 15. Otherwise problems may occur with graduating.

Courses of other Research Master programmes

To participate in one of the courses of the other Research Master's programmes:

  • Contact the teacher of the course you are interested in to see whether he / she approves of your participation. Arrange a confirmation in writing and mail this to the Student desk by filling out the Elective course registration form.
  • Contact the Student desk no later than August 1 (for courses in the first semester of the second year) or January 1 (for courses in the second semester of the second year).

Students from outside Utrecht University

If you are a Master’s student from outside Utrecht University, you can only attend a Master’s course if you have obtained permission to do so from the Master’s coordinator and if there are still places left. If you have obtained permission, you still have to register for the course as a minor. Please see our Subsidiary courses page.
