Why curriculum revision as of 2008-2009Why curriculum revision as of 2008-2009

Current curriculum is highly regarded and received both national and

international recognition, however:

We still see the opportunity for further improvements, based on signals

and suggestions of :

* students (evaluations)

* authorities within the university (educational concept)

* external authorities (quality increase in relation to other (inter)national

comparable programmes)

* corporate world

Developments at university level give rise to changes in the curriculum:

* implementation of the university-wide minor system (extra room for

elective courses)
