Program and Examination Regulations (PER)

The PER is the Program and Examination Regulations for a program and contains clear and sufficient information about the program, making it the basic document for both students and teachers.

Subjects covered by the PER include:

• the content of the program and the associated final examinations, the number and sequence of other examinations and the times when these can be taken
• the type of examination (oral, written or other types of examination)
• the period of validity of successfully completed examination components
• the right of inspection and evaluation

The Higher Education and Research Act (Wet op het hoger onderwijs en wetenschappelijk onderzoek) draws a distinction between program and examination regulations and examination committee rules and guidelines.
