Program and Examination Regulations 2023-2024
LAW
The Hague University of Applied Sciences 3
Preamble
These are the Program and Examination Regulations (PER) for the LAW program. The PER contains all
the rules and regulations that apply to the program, with a special emphasis on testing and examination.
The PER is part of the Student Charter of the program, based on the Higher Education and Research Act
(WHW). Together with the Education Program (EPP), the PER forms the program component of the
Student Charter. Together with the Student Charter part 1, which includes the regulations that apply to all
students of The Hague University of Applied Sciences, the PER forms ‘the Student Charter’ (art 7.59
WHW). On the Student Portal, you will find the tile ‘rights and obligations’, where the regulations for
students are listed.
For the purpose of readability, the PER refers to all students as ‘he’. This also includes she/they.
Whenever the PER uses the term ‘in writing’, this may also be interpreted as ‘by email’.
Decision-making: model PER of THUAS, rights of General Council
Every year, the Executive Board confirms the model PER (including the format for the EPP and the Test
Regulations) for the following academic year, after submitting this to the General Council (Art. 7, section
4, subsections c and d of the Regulations for Participation Councils THUAS).
The model PER is available in digital format on the Student Portal.
Decision-making; the PER of the program is drawn up by the faculty for each program, rights of
Faculty Council and Program Committee
The dean confirms the PER for each individual program in keeping with the THUAS-wide provisions in the
model PER. If the dean wishes to deviate from the model PER, they will present this to the Executive Board
on an annual basis, even if this deviation has existed for several years.
Each program or group of programs has a Program Committee, which, alongside the Faculty Council,
operates as a staff and student participation council. These bodies have an advisory capacity and the
right to endorse certain decisions of the PER. The faculty director can only define the PER for the
program after the Faculty Council and the Program Committee(s) have exercised their rights. The basis
for this is determined in the Regulations for Participation Councils THUAS. If there is any deviation from
the PER model upon consultation with the Executive Board, this will be explicitly stated and explained in
the drafts presented to the Program Committee and the Faculty Council.
Assessment of the education within the program
The program annually assesses the education by way of NSE results, DICE and other module-based
evaluations, Monitoring & Quality Teams for Years 1, 2 and 3-4 as well as input received from the
Program Committee and the regular Student Forum sessions (art. 7.13 section 2 subsection a1
WHW).The Program Committee has the right to endorse decisions concerning the evaluation process.
PER/EPP of your program
The PER of the LAW Program and the Education Program Plan have been confirmed by the dean of the
faculty Public Management, Law and Safety to which the program belongs. The PER and the Education
Program Plan apply for the duration of an academic year. A PER from the previous academic year is no
longer valid in the new academic year; unless the PER determines otherwise. Transitional measures are
provided in the event of changes for current students compared to the previous academic year. These
transitional measures will be described separately in each PER.

digital).
3. The moment in which the tests of a unit of study will be administered must be published in a timetable
at the start of that particular unit of study. The ten working day-term as stated in article 1.2, paragraph
5 must be observed.
4. In case of a cumulative test, it will be conducted in several components. The first test will be
conducted on several succeeding occasions and the re-sit will be conducted on one single occasion.
5. A written test lasts no longer than two clock hours per session. This is not including a possible
extension of the duration of the test. The program states the duration of the test in the module
description for the educational unit and this may only differ from the maximum standard if relevant for
the content and following consultation with the dean.
Article 4.3 Conditions for participating in tests
1. The student is obliged to comply with the Test Regulations and if applicable, the digital test
regulations.
2. If it is compulsory for a student to take part in practical exercises or/ and there is a participation

2. If a test or partial test is marked with a grade as referred to in paragraph 1(a), the grade will be
expressed with one decimal. The average figure for grades resulting from a weighted or an arithmetic
average of several partial tests is calculated on the basis of the results of the partial tests which are
expressed with one decimal. If the average figure includes more than one decimal, the average figure
is cut off after the first decimal (example: 6.49 is rounded to 6.4).
3. Units of study which represent 10 or more credits are assessed with a grade on a scale from 1.0 to

Students will be informed of this by the program. The student can report overdue announcement of
the result to the program manager.
2. The examiner and the Exam Board may correct incorrectly entered result in Osiris. Examiners may
only do so within 2 months after the date on which the test or partial test was administered. After this
time frame, the student may derive rights from the results as posted in Osiris, unless the student
could reasonably have known that the entered result is an incorrectly entered result.
3. Results that have been announced via other media, for example OnStage and Brightspace, are not
definitive and no rights can be derived from this.

reasoned request to the Exam Board. This request must be submitted to the Exam Board no later
than 5 working days after the test or partial test in question.
2. Force majeure applies in the event that it is impossible to perform an obligation for causes not
attributable to the defaulting person in question.
Article 4.11 Re-sit
1. One resit will be offered in the same academic year for every test or partial test. The module
description of the relevant unit of study states when resits will be held for every test or partial test. In
case a resit for a test or partial test cannot take place in the same academic year because a resit
would not reasonably fit within the education program due to the specific nature of a unit of study, this
will be stipulated in the module description. When a resit of a portfolio is not possible in the same
academic year as it does not reasonably fit, a repair assignment will be offered to those students that
failed the portfolio.
2. The student may participate in the same test or partial test no more than twice per academic year,
insofar as the test or partial test is held on more than two occasions per academic year. The student
may re-sit tests passed with satisfactory marks in the academic year in which these were attained or
in the following academic year. The student is not permitted to re-sit tests passed with satisfactory
marks in subsequent years. Tests cannot be retaken after the exam has been issued.
3. For cumulative tests, the resit consists of one (partial) test.
4. For the resit of a portfolio that takes the form of a repair assignment the highest result possible is a
7,0. For the resit of a portfolio which is marked with a ‘good’, ‘pass, or ‘fail’ and takes the form of a
repair assignment the highest result possible is a ‘pass’.
5. In special cases, the Exam Board may decide to derogate from the provisions in paragraphs 1, 2 and
3 and allow an additional re-sit. This may be the case, for example, when academic progress is
compromised by force majeure. To this end, the student can submit a written and reasoned request
to the Exam Board.
Article 4.12 Granting exemption
1. The Exam Board may grant a student exemption from a test if it is of the opinion that the student
already meets the requirements in terms of content and level of the relevant unit of study. The Exam
Board determines the period of validity for the exemption. No exemption can be granted from a partial
test or a component of a cumulative test.
2. a. Exemption may be granted on the basis of the tests results achieved for another NVAO-accredited
degree program.
b. the competencies, knowledge or skills acquired through (work) experience.
3. A student wishing to apply for exemption may submit a request to the Exam Board via Osiris Case
stating reasons. The request must be accompanied by the supporting documents showing that the
student already meets the requirements for the relevant unit of study. The request must be submitted
to the Exam Board no later than 5 working days after the unit of study has commenced.

knowledge, skills or insight have become demonstrably outdated.
b. Every year, the program publishes test results that are subject to becoming outdated the
following academic year following a balanced assessment (see article 3.6). The Exam Board will then
determine whether an individual result can reasonably be deprived of its validity.
3. At the student’s written request, the Exam Board may in special cases, as stated in article 7.5, but not
exclusively, decide to extend the validity period of a test or partial test result or exemption therefrom,
or to administer an additional or alternative test. Requests to extend the validity based on approved
personal circumstances are awarded at a minimum for the number of months for which compensation
has been awarded from the Profiling Fund. The request must be submitted to the Exam Board no
later than 15 working days prior to the expiry of the validity period applicable to that particular test or
partial test.
Article 4.14 Declaring tests or partial tests invalid
1. If irregularities have been detected in a test, partial test or component of a cumulative test, after
having consulted with the dean the Exam Board may decide to declare that test or partial test invalid
also for students who were not found to have committed irregularities, if the Exam Board is of the
opinion that the assured quality of the tests and examinations has been compromised.
2. If no irregularities have been detected in a test or partial test, the Exam Board can, having done
careful investigation and after consultation with the dean of the faculty, from its statutory duty to
ensure the quality of the tests and examinations (article 7.12b, paragraph 1.a WHW), decide that a

Chapter 7. Study advice
This chapter does not apply to the master's programs.
An associate degree program does not have a propaedeutic phase, which is why for the associate degree
program below the term propaedeutic phase must be read as follows: the first period of the associate
degree program with a study load of 60 credits.
Article 7.1 Study advice in the propaedeutic phase
1. At the end of the first year of enrolment in the propaedeutic phase of a program, the student will
receive advice on the continuation of their studies within or outside the program in which they are
enrolled. The study advice is based on the study results in the first year of enrolment for the
propaedeutic phase.
2. The student may be given a positive study advice or a negative binding study advice. Issuing the
advice may also be postponed due to personal circumstances, see article 7.2 and further.
3. Study advice may be issued as long as the student has not passed the propaedeutic exam.
4. A study advice is issued by the Exam Board, on behalf of and under the responsibility of the Dean of
Faculty. The student will receive this study advice by email at the university of applied sciences email
address and/or the email address of the student that is known to the university of applied sciences at
that moment.
5. If a student terminates their enrolment in the propaedeutic phase of a program during the academic
year, on or after the 1
st
of February, they will still receive study advice no later than the end of the
relevant year of enrolment. If the student has interrupted their studies for personal circumstances and
has requested the Exam Board on a timely basis to take account of these reasons, the Exam Board
may decide to postpone the issuance of study advice until the end of the next academic year in which
the student enrols in the same program.
6. If the student un-enrols before 1 February of the current academic year, and doesn’t re-enrol in the
same academic year study advice will not be issued to the student. If they enrol for the same program
in a later academic year, their enrolment will be seen as ‘first enrolment’ (also see article 3.5).
7. If a student commenced their studies on a regular student intake date in February,
a. the phrase 'in the first year of enrolment' in this chapter means: the period from the intake date
until the end of February in the following calendar year. The ‘second year of enrolment’ means:
the period from the month of February in the calendar year following the intake date until the end
of February in the second calendar year following the intake date;
b. the date of un-enrol in the current academic year shall be before 1 September, in deviation from
paragraph 6 of this article.
Article 7.2 Study progress standards and study advice
1. A student will be given a positive study advice if:
a. at the end of their first year of enrolment, they successfully passed the propaedeutic exam. The
study load associated with this exam is 60 credits; or
b. at the end of the first year of enrolment, they have obtained at least 46 credits. If a student has
been exempted for one or more units of study in the propaedeutic phase, the norm of 46 credits still
applies.
2. A negative binding study advice will be issued to a student who does not meet the standard of study
progress referred to in article 1(a) or (b). Because their study results do not comply with the
requirements set out in this chapter, the student, taking their personal circumstances into account, is
considered unsuitable for the program, also see article 7.4.
3. If at the Exam Board’s discretion the student’s personal circumstances give reason to do so, study
advice may be deferred, the procedure for which is set out in article 7.6.
4. The study progress standard for entry into the Internship module has been met if the student:
a. has fulfilled the requirement stated in paragraph 1a; and
b. has achieved all 60 credits of the first year of the main phase, i.e. successfully completed all modules
of Year 2; and
c. has achieved at least 30 credits of Year 3.
d. the internship coordinator retains the discretion to decide on the specific moment a student may start
and/or complete an internship.
Program and Examination Regulations 2023-2024
LAW
The Hague University of Applied Sciences 25
5. The study progress standard for entry into the Applied Research Project module has been met if the
student:
a. has fulfilled the requirement stated in paragraph 1a; and
b. has achieved all 60 credits of the first year of the main phase, i.e. successfully completed all modules
of Year 2; and
c. has achieved at least 30 credits of Year 3, plus the credits of the mandatory Year 3 modules.
d. the Applied Research Project coordinator retains the discretion to decide on the specific moment a
student may start and/or complete an internship.
6. Working hours spent to obtain the 30 credits for the Internship module may not be used to complete
work for the Applied Research Project. A student may not take the Internship module and the Applied
Research Project module at the same time.
Article 7.3 Positive study advice
A student who has received positive study advice may continue their program.
Article 7.4 Negative binding study advice
1. A student who has been given a negative binding study advice, is not allowed to re-enrol in the same
program at The Hague University of Applied Sciences.
2. A negative binding study advice can only be issued if the propaedeutic phase of the program in
question has been provided with such facilities that ensure the opportunities for proper academic
progress. The following conditions must have been met:
a. the student has been offered student career advice/ academic student counselling;
b. information on the student’s study progress has been recorded in Osiris, the student tracking
system;
c. the program has scheduled at least one resit in the same academic year for each unit of study,
with the exception of units of study of which a resit would not reasonably fit within the education
program due to the specific nature of a unit of study (see also article 4.11 paragraph 2);
d. the student’s personal circumstances have been taken into account insofar as the student has
submitted a timely request to that effect to the Exam Board;
e. in view of a negative binding study advice, the student has been given a warning at such a
moment that the student still had the opportunity to improve their study results;
f. before the negative binding study advice was issued, the student was given the opportunity to be
heard by the Exam Board.
3. If binding negative study advice is issued to the student during an academic year, their enrolment will
be terminated by the Executive Board as of the second full month following the month in which the
negative binding study advice was issued in writing or was sent to the student’s university of applied
sciences email address or to the student’s current email address as known at that time by THUAS of
applied sciences. If the student wishes to terminate their enrolment sooner, they should submit a
request to that end to the Central Students Enrolment Office in good time.
4. A binding negative study advice may also extend to a bachelor’s degree program or an Associate
degree program that shares the propaedeutic phase of a bachelor’s degree program or the first
period of 60 credits of an Associate degree program. In that case, the study advice will state the
bachelor’s degree program or Associate degree program to which the study advice pertains.
Article 7.5 Re-enrolment following binding negative study advice
1. A negative binding study advice expires after three years following the academic year in which the
advice was issued.
2. The dean may, within the period of three years referred to in paragraph 1, consent to the re-
enrolment of the student for this program, provided the student makes a reasonable case for being
able to successfully complete the program. The dean will judge whether this is the case.
3. If the student is given permission to re-enrol, they will follow the educational program in force at the
time of re-enrolment. Previously achieved results remain valid, provided that they have not been
determined to be outdated and that they are still included in the curriculum, see article 4.13. At the
end of the first year a new study advice will be issued.

LAW
The Hague University of Applied Sciences 26
Article 7.6 Personal circumstances and deferral of study advice
1. The Exam Board may decide, after having taken notice of a motivated advice from the student
counsellor, to defer issuing study advice if the student’s personal circumstances give reason to do so.
2. The Exam Board attaches a period of time to the deferral of study advice. After this period, a study
advice will follow. The Exam Board will also specify the study progress standard the student will have
to comply with after this period and whether any further conditions are imposed on the student. The
student will be informed of this in writing or by email to the university of applied sciences email
address.
3. At the Exam Board’s discretion, only the following personal circumstances may give reason to defer
study advice:
a. illness: any type of physical or mental ailment;
b. disability: a physical, sensory or mental limitation;
c. pregnancy and childbirth;
d. special family circumstances:
i. the long-term care of a blood relative or a member of the student’s household on account
of their illness;
ii. long-term psychological and/ or social problems in the student’s household;
iii. other circumstances that are considered special family circumstances;
e. elite sports or other elite-level activities, which place the student among the top performers on
national or international level in their discipline, and on which the student spends at least 15
clock hours a week;
f. membership of the General Council, an faculty council or program committee;
g. membership of a University committee, to the extent it is included in the 'List of Student
Organisations and Participation Bodies' in Part 1 of the Student Charter of the relevant
academic year;
h. board membership of a study association, student association or student organisation with full
legal capacity, to the extent the association or organisation is included in the 'List of Student
Organisations and Participation Bodies' in Part 1 of the Student Charter of the relevant
academic year.
4. If the student wants the Exam Board to take their personal circumstances into consideration, they
must:
a. inform the student counsellor and their study career counsellor of these circumstances the
moment they occur, or as soon as possible thereafter; and
b. submit a reasoned and substantiated request to the Exam Board before 1 July, unless the
circumstances occurred after 1 July, to postpone issuing the study advice due to these personal
circumstances.
5. The student alone is responsible for reporting such circumstances, submitting a request to the Exam
Board and for drawing up a study plan in consultation with their study career counsellor to prevent or
minimise a possible delay in completing their studies.
6. The student who has received a postponed advice and decides not to enrol in the following
academic year, can enrol again for the same program in the subsequent academic year. The
conditions for postponement as described in the postponed advice will apply to that student, with the
exception of the date on which the student must still meet the conditions set.
Article 7.7 Relevant dates for study advice
1. Study advice will be issued no later than 31 July of the relevant year of enrolment, unless the
opportunity to earn credits is still offered in the period from 31 July up to and including 31 August.
Study advice will in that case be issued at the latest on 31 August of the relevant year of enrolment.
2. Before study advice is issued, a warning will be given at the latest on 31 March concerning the
possibility of the student receiving binding negative study advice.
3. In case the student would like the Exam Board to take their personal circumstances into consideration
when issuing study advice, they must ensure that the Exam Board receives a request to that effect
via Osiris Case on 1 July at the latest before the study advice is issued.

Article 7.8 Appeal provisions
1. If a student has lodged an appeal in accordance with Article 1.4(7) against the decision to issue them
binding negative study advice, implementation of that advice will be suspended at the request of the
student until the Examination Appeals Board has made a decision on the appeal, or until the student
has withdrawn the appeal.
2. If desired, the student may therefore re-enrol or continue to be enrolled for the duration of the appeal
period with the Examination Appeals Board to avoid any unnecessary study delay if their appeal is
upheld. Any study results obtained during this period will not be included in the assessment of the
appeal by the Examination Appeals Boards.
3. If the Examination Appeals Board has ruled that the appeal is unfounded or inadmissible, or if the
student withdraws the appeal, the Executive Board will terminate the student’s enrolment.
Termination will take effect from the month following the month in which the student has withdrawn
the appeal or in which the Legal Protection Desk has informed the student that the Examination
Appeals Board has ruled the appeal is unfounded or inadmissible.

e. the education materials, and
f. tests.
2. Students with a disability who wish to assert their right to adapted provisions must submit an
adequately substantiated request to the Exam Board. The request must also include a
recommendation by the student counsellor, which is based on a certificate submitted to the student
counsellor, issued by a BIG-registered health care professional, containing the student’s personal
details and the medical diagnosis. Contrary to the previous sentence, students suffering from dyslexia

15 working days. The relevant officer will inform the student of the extended period before the
expiry of the original period.
Article 9.2 Provisions for elite performance students
1. A student who performs elite sports, or performs at elite level in a cultural or other field, may submit a
request for study provisions. The student must submit such a request to the Exam Board without
delay at the start of the academic year, or immediately after commencing the activities.
2. The Exam Board will issue a decision within 15 working days of receiving the request. The Exam
Board will seek the advice of the elite sports coordinator in the case of elite sports, and the student
counsellor in the case of any other type of elite performance.
Article 9.3 Provisions for students who previously studied abroad
1. A student who has been granted admission on the basis of a secondary education diploma earned
outside the Netherlands may submit a request to be allowed 30% more time to take tests or partial

Article 8. Enrolment procedure for tests
8.1 The student is registered by the faculty office in Osiris for participation in the courses of the year to
which the student belongs. Registration for participation in courses automatically means that the
student is registered for the (partial) tests that are part of the relevant courses. The student must
always check in time whether they are registered and, if not, take immediate action to realize
registration via Osiris.
8.2 Students who fail a test are registered for the re-sit by the faculty office. A student who has passed a
test, but wants to retake that test with a view to a higher mark, must register in Osiris for the re-sit.
The opportunity to register for the re-sit is opened simultaneously with the registration of students
who did not pass the first opportunity, and is open until one week before the re-sit.
8.3 The student registers himself for minors and other electives and therefore automatically for the tests
associated with that unit of study. If a student does not pass the test on the first opportunity, they will
be registered for the re-sit by the faculty office.
8.4 Registration for a (partial) test is counted as participation in the test. If a student does not wish to
participate in a test that they are registered for, the student needs to deregister via Osiris. This is
possible up to one working day before the (partial) test.
Article 9. Complaints about an a test or administration of a test
Complaints concerning a test or the administration of a test can be submitted to the Exam Board of the
program via Osiris Case within ten working days after the relevant test.

Transitional Measures | Appendix 4
Transitional arrangements for the units of study of the old LAW curriculum were offered in the previous
academic years and have now been finalised, see the Program and Exam Regulations of 2021-2022 and
2022-2023.
In 2023-2024, the LAW Program is implementing some adjustments to the Year 3 curriculum. For the
Research Lab of 4 credits and the Year 3 units of study of 13 credits that are falling away, the LAW Program
offers transitional arrangements in accordance with the general guideline for offering 'old style' tests. For
all ‘old style’ units of study listed in the table below two opportunities of the (partial) tests will still be offered
in the academic year 2023-2024.
