    • Exchange Students

    • Extracurricular Courses

      Extracurricular means that you choose to take courses on top of the courses in your programme of study. You can choose between these extracurricular courses:

      - Students who plan to switch to a master's degree can prepare for it via the course ‘Advanced Mathematics'. For students opting for a theoretical bachelor's thesis in exchange: obtaining the credit of ‘Advanced Mathematics’ demonstrates the level of mathematics required for enrolling for the theoretical bachelor's thesis in exchange.

      - Students who choose Internationalisation@ThomasMore actively participate in an international project such as the Buddy project for international students at Thomas More or as a member of ESN (Erasmus Student Network).

      - ATTENTION: course YT0995 is organised for phase 3 (not phase 2 as indicated below).
