or

    Non-EU student?

    • If you’re a non-EU student with a residence permit for study purposes, you must obtain at least 50% of the credits for the current academic year in order to retain your residence permit and to be able to switch to a different study programme. You can find more information on the Study progress monitoring page.
    • You can arrange your enrolment in your new study programme through StudielinkExternal link. You don’t need to terminate your enrolment in your previous study programme until you start your new programme. You can also terminate your enrolment now, but in that case you’ll need to apply for a residence permit again.
