Courses at other Faculties

Exchange students may take courses from other faculties, subject to approval and a limit of 2 courses per period, listed on the course registration form. 

Please not: You can request up to 50% of your courses at one other school/faculty.

• Utrecht School of Economics
• Utrecht School of Governance
• Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences
• Faculty of Humanities
• Other School or Faculty 

To prevent having to take lectures, tutorials or exams at the same time, you must select courses from different time slots. Timeslots divide the week into different parts to prevent a clash in these course times.

Course levels indicate the entrance requirements. You can find these requirements in the Course catalogue . 
Level 1 & 2 Law courses: generally available to students with a background in Law.
Level 3 Law courses: more restrictive, admission depending on your background. 

After registration, you can check your courses in Osiris by late June (semester 1) or November (semester 2). Your personal course schedule will be available in MyTimetable by late August (semester 1) or January (semester 2). Courses from other faculties may take longer to process.

• Students can disenrol within two weeks of the course start by sending an e-mail to studiepunt.rechten@uu.nl with your student number, course code, and title.
• For course changes, contact the study advisor for guidance and disenrolment.
• Course changes are not accepted after the deadline unless there is a change in the Utrecht University programme.

• If you are unable to attend an exam due to force majeure (e.g., illness), inform the university using the web form: Deregister from an exam. Send an email to studiepunt.rechten@uu.nl if there is a technical error. Evidence of force majeure must be shown if requested.
• If you missed the exam without prior deregistration, report it to the Student Information Desk Law at Janskerkhof 3 as soon as possible and explain why you couldn't deregister.
• If the force majeure is more than incidental, you cannot deregister from an exam at the Student Information Desk Law. In that case, please contact the study advisor

NOTE: when you take a substitute exam after you missed your first exam, you no longer have the right to do a resit! There is only one opportunity for a resit or substitute exam per course. 

In the course catalogue , you can find a list of course materials for each course.

Readers: 
You can order your reader through the readerportal Canon . Make sure to order on time for your first classes, but note that readers may change each period. Only order a reader if you're taking classes in that period.

Books:
You can order books through the JSVU Boekservice, with discounted prices for JSVU members. Order and pickup times are available on their website. For more info, visit www.jsvu.nl or email bestuur@jsvu.nl. You may also order books elsewhere.

NB: Students are expected to purchase course materials, as knowledge of them is required for class participation. While lacking materials won't exclude you, insufficient participation may lead to exclusion by the course coordinator (see Academic policies and procedures).

The Faculty of Law, Economics and Governance does not offer English language courses to foreign students. If a student needs extra language training, we advise him/her to prepare in their home country. More information about language requirements.
