Year 2

How to enrol in a specialisation?

At the end of your first year, you will have to choose your specialisation. In Osiris you need to register:

• your specialisation (via Enrolment > Specialisation)
• the various courses that are part of your specialisation
  • Courses block 1 and 2 during the course registration period in June
  • Courses block 3 and 4 in autumn

Make sure you register your specialisation in the first 2 weeks of the registration period in June. In case your specialisation contains courses with priority rules, you will need to register for these courses in the first week of the registration period.

Specialisation requirements

• You must complete one specialisation in its entirety within your Major. It is not possible to replace a course from one specialisation with another course from a different specialisation.
• If you wish to take courses from another specialisation, you may do so in the electives part of your programme. These courses are taken individually, i.e. you do not need to take the entire profile. 
• Some courses are offered once every 2 years. If you have attended a course in your second year as part of your specialisation, you can also follow the alternating course in your third year. You can then include these as an elective.

How to register for a minor

You register for a minor and the individual modules online via OSIRIS during the Faculty of Humanities course registration period. You must register for both the minor itself and each course module individually. Per minor you can find where to go for more information, what the entry requirements are and how to register.

Courses with selected entry

If you wish to register for a course with selected entry (selection committee), you must register for the minor and the individual course modules during the first week of the course registration period. An overview of courses with selected entry will be available on the website one week prior to the course registration period.

Registration study results

Once you have completed the course modules, provided that you were enrolled for both the minor itself and each course module individually in OSIRIS, the minor and study results will be listed on your Study Progress Review.

Deviation standard programme

If you wish to deviate from the standard minor programme, you must request approval from the Board of Examiners of the Bachelor's programme that offers the minor.
