Students who are enrolled in a programme with a given specialisation, will earn ONLY one degree with ONE specialisation.

Students, who would like to attend and complete additional modules from other specialisations would do it at their own discretion. Students can take as many additional modules as they wish. However, the diploma will only mention one specialisation.

All additional modules that the student has completed and passed will be added and will be visible on the transcript only. Students will be able to promote these additional modules to their future employers via the transcript of records.

We have partnered with Perlego, EBSCO, Willey, Vital Source, and other publishers to ensure over 1,000,000 different titles of books and over 2,000,000 journal articles are available for our students and teachers. Students and staff can access these resources via the "Online Library Resources" on Wittenborg-Online. A special search function is created in this page to search all journal articles in our database (see Figure 1 below).

Moreover, together with our partner, EBSCO we have developed a special widget on EBSCO search engine which will also assist you to find articles on open source publishers such as Google Scholar  (see Figure 2 below).. We highly recommend students to use these resources before browsing through other external sources for the same articles or books.

Yes, you can. But it is advised only to choose this option if you have specific plans to start the company you want to write the Business Plan for. This is because writing a Business Plan is the most challenging option and it requires a lot of reading and research with such an in-depth engagement in finance that it is only worthwhile to go the extra mile when you actually need that information for your future plan.

The deadlines are clearly stated in the EEG in tabulated form and on the online area, so that students can plan and meet the exact deadlines looking backwards from the expected block of graduation. However, if you feel you are not able to submit your final GA or any of the parts of the GA at the specific date, you need to discuss with your Academic Supervisor in advance.

As per the rules, the student should have completed 220 European Credits (ECs) to submit and defend the Graduation Assignment/Final Project (GA/FP). These ECs including the obtained grades are locked in order to allow him/her to proceed with the GA/FP submission. We do not expect any changes in these grades at the time of defence or afterwards. A student could even fail a module in a worst-case scenario attempting to upgrade his/her mark. We cannot work with any uncertainties/probabilities, though in the case of failure in a reattempt a previous pass grade will remain intact.

We are happy to facilitate such upgrade attempts, but they must be completed before the GA/FP final submission as per the rules. The student cannot proceed with a GA/FP defence in the case of any pending results. Therefore, it is the student’s choice and decision to proceed with the GA/FP defence without upgrades or wait for the upgrades before proceeding with the defence. Please note the extra tuition and fees it may cost if your graduation gets delayed.

You can check the similarity in detail of your submitted file by clicking on “Match Overview” at the right side of the file submitted to Turnitin.

Please also note that if the similarity is from your own submitted paper, it will not be an issue.

All students who have reached one of the two criteria below are advised to apply for an Academic Supervisor.

• Bachelor (BBA) students who have reached the 180EC 
• Master (MBA/MSc) students who received an approval on their research topic

You can find the Academic Supervisor Request from and additional information from the links below:

• Master (MBA/MSc) students Course: Graduation Assignment (Master) |GA43_FP_All| (wittenborg-online.com)

There are two graduation ceremonies per year, i.e. Winter Graduation Ceremony (February) & Summer Graduation Ceremony (July).

Students who graduated in blocks 1, 2 & 3 will be invited to the winter graduation and students who graduated in blocks 5, 6 & 7 will be invited to the summer graduation.

Note:

Students can invite their family members to come to the graduation ceremony. A graduation ceremony signifies a close to your study journey at Wittenborg. It is a day full of joy, the perfect opportunity to see your fellow graduates one more time and celebrate your graduation together.

There is no specific limit, but you can always contact your Academic Supervisor if it is required. However, according to the EEG Part 8, "Supervisors are allocated a total of 14 hours per student, which includes marking. Supervisors can expect regular, punctual attendance at Academic Supervisorial meetings. Try to avoid 'dropping in' to supervisors’ offices and quickly asking for advice since the supervisor may need time to reflect on your questions.

Students must come fully prepared to Academic Supervisorial meetings, which means that you have read around the subject area, and/or have drafts of material that need to be consulted." It is advisable to send the materials for discussion to the supervisors at least one or two working days before the meeting (depending on the working routine of the supervisors).

Ideally: One block for the topic, one block for the research proposal and two blocks for the Graduation Assignment.

The timeline is available in the EEG, Part 8.

Please inform the Helpdesk and include the link to the wrong submission area. We will delete the wrong paper for you and you can then upload it to the correct area.

Please note that you should inform us before the deadline. It will not be possible once the deadline to the specific submission area has passed.

All bachelor's students are now added to a common GA area, where we have provided links to each specialisation GA course area. Course: Graduation Assignment (Bachelor) |GA32_FP_All| (wittenborg-online.com)

All master's students are now added to a common GA area, where we have provided links to each specialisation GA course area. Course: Graduation Assignment (Master) |GA43_FP_All| (wittenborg-online.com)

Once you want to access your GA area, you can simply click on it in the table. If you are no more enrolled there, it will ask for an enrolment key and you can find the enrolment keys in Process Tutor areas. It has not changed.

No, but do realise that these are the only two opportunities that students get to have in-depth feedback on the content of their work. Missing out on this feedback seriously reduces the chance of a pass. Do keep in mind that you can only ask for a ‘free’ block after a fail on the Graduation Assignment when these upload opportunities are used.

A 30-second video which gives an overview of the topic/content of your Graduation Assignment, and must be added to the presentation slides.

You can find the updated information here.

The deadline is Monday of Week 4 at 16:00 CET in each teaching block. If you miss the deadline you will need to submit your Graduation Assignment/Final Project in the upcoming teaching block submission area.

When: For bachelor's students, it depends on your European Credits. For master's students, it depends if your research proposal topic has been passed.

How: For bachelor's students, fill out the request form.  For master's students, contact your preferred supervisor and ask whether he/she would like to become your supervisor before filling out the request form.

Normally, diplomas and transcripts are ready for collection within 3 months after the graduation date. However, you can check with the registrar in case you need the documents earlier by sending an email to: registrar@wittenborg.eu.

Please be informed that the deadline to upload Chapter 1-3 is Monday, Week 1 of the previous block (If you are planning to graduate in Block 6, the deadline will be Monday, Week 1 of Block 5). Students can find all the information on deadlines in Part 8 of the EEG.

Please be informed that the deadline to upload Chapter 1-4 is Monday, Week 7 of the previous block. For master’s students this deadline is Monday, Week 5 of the previous block. Students can find all the information on deadlines in Part 8 of the EEG.

Please see the flow chart below which will give you a complete understanding of the timings and process.
