Academic year 2021-2022 (for Dutch scroll down)

The Bachelor’s-before-Master’s rule (‘harde knip’ in Dutch) is the legal provision that states that a student must first complete their Bachelor’s or Pre-Master’s programme before they can move on to a Master’s programme. In order to limit possible study delays and related adverse consequences due to COVID-19, the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science has allowed for another year universities to put temporary measures in place for the transition from a Bachelor’s to a Master’s programme.

It is stipulated that students can make use of the temporary Bachelor’s-before-Master’s rule (‘harde knip’ in Dutch) once and with a maximum duration of 1 year.  It is therefore not possible to add up two of these temporary rules.   

For bachelor students at a Dutch university

• Bachelor’s students who have a deficit of up 15 EC in their Bachelor’s examination programme on 31 August 2021 may enrol in Master’s subjects in the 2021-2022 academic year and participate in Master’s subjects examinations
• Faculties may designate certain subjects as entry requirements, such as completion of the Bachelor’s final project, for each Master’s programme. Faculties will inform their bachelor students before May 15, 2021.
• The option to enrol in Master’s courses without having completed a Bachelor’s programme expires on 31 August 2022.

For Pre-Master’s students of TU Delft

• Pre-Master’s students who have a deficit of no more than 15 EC in their Pre-Master’s programme on 31 August 2021 may enrol in Master’s courses and participate in Master’s courses examinations in the 2021-2022 academic year
• The option to enrol in Master’s courses without having completed the Pre-Master’s programme expires on 31 August 2022

Registration of TU Delft students 

• Students wishing to use the temporary measures for the Bachelor’s-Master’s transition should re-enrol via Studylink in their current Bachelor’s or Pre-Master’s programme. They also should enrol in the Master’s or Pre-Master’s programme. Registration will be on an interim basis until they have completed their Bachelor degree programme. Conditional admission will be reviewed by the dean of the faculty in which the relevant Master’s degree is given.

Studiejaar 2021-2022

De zogenaamde harde knip is de wettelijke bepaling die zegt dat een student eerst de bacheloropleiding of het schakelprogramma moet afronden, voordat de student kan doorstromen naar een masteropleiding. Om mogelijke studievertraging met bijbehorende nadelige gevolgen vanwege COVID-19 te beperken, mogen universiteiten van het Ministerie van Onderwijs, Cultuur en Wetenschap (OCW) een tijdelijke, zogenaamde zachte knip instellen voor de overgang van een bacheloropleiding naar een masteropleiding.

Daarbij is wel bepaald dat studenten één maal en met een maximale duur van 1 jaar een zachte knip inschrijving voor een (schakel- of master-)opleiding kunnen hebben.  Het stapelen van twee zachte knip- inschrijvingen is dus niet mogelijk.     

Voor bachelorstudenten van de TU Delft

• Bachelorstudenten, die op 31 augustus 2021 maximaal 15 EC aan bachelorvakken van hun examenprogramma tekort komen, mogen in studiejaar 2021-2022 mastervakken volgen en deelnemen aan tentamens van mastervakken.
• Faculteiten kunnen per masteropleiding vakken als inhoudelijke ingangseis aanwijzen, bijvoorbeeld afronding van het BEP. Faculteiten informeren studenten van hun bacheloropleidingen vóór 15 mei 2021 welke inhoudelijke eisen dat zijn.
• Deze mogelijkheid om zonder afgeronde bacheloropleiding mastervakken te mogen volgen geldt alleen in studiejaar 2021-2022 en vervalt dus op 31 augustus 2022.

Voor schakelstudenten van de TU Delft

• Schakelstudenten, die op 31 augustus 2021 een tekort van maximaal 15 EC hebben in hun schakelprogramma, mogen in het studiejaar 2021-2022 mastervakken volgen en deelnemen aan tentamens van mastervakken.
• Faculteiten kunnen per masteropleiding vakken als inhoudelijke ingangseis aanwijzen. Bekijk de informatie over de inhoudelijke toelatingseisen in het kader van de zachte knip.
• De mogelijkheid om zonder afgerond schakelprogramma mastervakken te mogen volgen, geldt alleen in studiejaar 2021-2022 en vervalt dus op 31 augustus 2022.

Aanmelden TU Delft studenten

• Studenten die gebruik willen maken van de zachte knip dienen zich via Studielink voor hun huidige bachelor- of schakelopleiding te herinschrijven en een inschrijvingsverzoek te doen voor de gewenste masteropleiding. In studielink wordt vervolgens gevraagd of de student in aanmerking wil komen voor een voorwaardelijke toelating tot de master. Op basis van deze aanvraag zal de voorwaardelijke toelating worden beoordeeld door de decaan van de faculteit, waartoe de betreffende masteropleiding behoort. De inschrijving voor deze opleiding zal een voorlopige inschrijving zijn, totdat de bachelor of het schakelprogramma is afgerond of worden beëindigd als op uiterlijk 31-08-2022 de bachelor of schakelprogramma niet is afgerond.

A new free online course helps students prepare for their university studies. Watch the video and spread the word.

As you’ve probably realised, Physics, similar to Calculus, is a crucial subject in many engineering studies, applicable across programs and faculties. But although the laws and principles of physics do not change once a student arrives at university, it can be tough to understand a more formal approach and abstract language. 

To help high-school students bridge the gap between their knowledge and the way this is presented and used at university, a new online course – Pre-University Physics – is launching on 7 June. Check out the video!

Formal doesn’t mean boring
This new online course makes university level physics approachable and fun. The exercises and examples draw from a variety of real-life situations that students can easily relate to. For example, how the boundary conditions of waves lead to different tones in various musical instruments.

The MOOC consists of three modules: Mechanics, Electricity & Magnetism, and Waves.

Students get used to the new language but also learn a new way to understand and apply physics: not to take things for granted, but to ask questions about particular situations. “Students come to appreciate that the meaning of a certain symbol – for example m for mass ­– is not defined globally, but refers to a particular object in a given situation. Asking, “what does m mean?” may at first sound dumb, but it’s often an excellent question”, says Sander Otte, the Professor of Physics at the Faculty of Applied Sciences behind the MOOC.

A winning combo
TU Delft also offers a MOOC on Pre-University Calculus that prepares high-school students for university level mathematics, showing them how it is used in different engineering and science disciplines.

Do you have a friend or know a high-school student who could be interested in these preparatory courses? Tell them to check them out.

As you’ve heard, the government is making free self-tests available to college students and employees. There are many people, especially of your age, who don’t have any symptoms and don’t realize that they are infected. That’s why we encourage you to take advantage of the self-tests, so infections can be detected quickly.

It is voluntary but extremely important

The self-tests are voluntary. You don’t have to show a negative test result to get physical access to education. It is voluntary, but incredibly important to get tested. Self-testing helps us keep track of the virus, which allows for more on campus education.

How can I order them?

Go to the website www.zelftestonderwijs.nl to read more about the ordering process.

When exactly should I take the self-test?

It is recommended that a self-test be taken before participating in on campus education. It is not intended to take a self-test only after you already have symptoms. If you have symptoms or if close contact emerges from source and contact investigations, you should, as before, have yourself tested in a GGD testing facility.

Measures remain in place

The use of the self-test comes in addition to (and not instead of) all measures that already apply at TU Delft, such as: keeping 1.5m distance, frequent hand washing, the use of face masks and staying home in case of symptoms.

Frequently asked questions can be found at www.zelftestonderwijs.nl.
