Question:

Work Placement/Internship: Can I replace Work Placement credits with other modules?

(Last edited: Wednesday, 1 September 2021, 3:39 PM)
Answer:

Replacement of credits is ONLY applicable for Direct Entry Final Year students. Students can take modules from phase 2 in their own specialisation and/or phase 3 modules from other specialisations to replace the Work Placement with equivalent ECs. Please notice that students cannot choose modules and specialisation across different campuses (e.g. Apeldoorn students cannot choose EBA modules offered in Amsterdam). Students must make an agreement for possible modules with their process tutor. Once the modules have been chosen, the student needs to send an email to examresults@wittenborg.eu and CC process tutor with the subject: Replace Work Placement_snumber or Replace In-company Training. List the modules with the full module name and module code in the email.


Question:

Work Placement/Internship: How shall I prepare for the Work Placement if I am a direct-entry Phase 3 student?

(Last edited: Wednesday, 1 September 2021, 3:37 PM)
Answer:

Work placement is not obligatory for students with direct entry into the final phase (Phase 3). However, they must complete 15 ECs for this module, either by undertaking a standard internship as per our procedure, or they can replace these credits with other taught modules. For this they must make an agreement for possible modules with their process tutor through their study agreement.

Note:

Please refer to the Bachelor's EEG PART 7 - Work Placement Handbook Bachelor's, Page 9.

Question:

Graduation Assignment (GA/FP) Oral Defence/Presentations: Can I use any special equipment or request for special arrangements for my GA Oral Defence/Presentation?

(Last edited: Monday, 28 June 2021, 11:34 AM)

Question:

Graduation Assignment (GA/FP) Hard Copy: could you provide information on printing service?

(Last edited: Monday, 28 June 2021, 11:33 AM)
Answer:

Students can find it challenging to find a printing shop in their city due to many of them having closed their businesses recently. In case of being unable to find a printing shop the students may also opt for printing and binding the GAs from online printing websites e.g. https://www.printenbind.nl/. For any further information (e.g. cost, duration, delivery, data/research confidentiality, etc.), please contact the company directly. 

Note: Using the above website is your own responsibility and Wittenborg University of Applied Sciences does not take any responsibility nor has any affiliation with it whatsoever. 

 

 

Question:

GA/FP: When can I submit my Chapter 1-4?

(Last edited: Monday, 28 June 2021, 10:29 AM)
Answer:

 

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.

Question:

GA/FP: When can I submit my Chapter 1-3?

(Last edited: Monday, 28 June 2021, 10:29 AM)
Answer:

 

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.

Question:

GA/FP: Can I upgrade one of my module results in the same block as my graduation block?

(Last edited: Monday, 28 June 2021, 10:19 AM)
Answer:

 

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.

Question:

GA/FP: How many meetings can I have with my supervisor?

(Last edited: Monday, 28 June 2021, 10:07 AM)
Answer:

 

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).

Question:

GA/FP: When can I receive my diploma and transcript, once I have received my Graduation Assignment/Final Project results?

(Last edited: Monday, 28 June 2021, 10:03 AM)
Answer:

 

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.

Question:

GA/FP: How many graduation ceremonies are there at Wittenborg? Which graduation ceremony can I attend?

(Last edited: Monday, 28 June 2021, 10:01 AM)
Answer:

 

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.

Question:

GA/FP: What is the deadline to upload my Graduation Assignment/Final Project final version?

(Last edited: Monday, 28 June 2021, 10:00 AM)
Answer:

 

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.

Question:

GA/FP: Can I do a Business Plan for a Graduation Assignment?

(Last edited: Monday, 28 June 2021, 9:56 AM)
Answer:

 

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.

Question:

GA/FP: Where do I have to upload the deliverables?

(Last edited: Monday, 28 June 2021, 9:54 AM)
Answer:

 

Bachelor's students: upload your Research Proposal to the respective pathway of GA32 in the module online area. E.g. GA32_RP_IBA Research Proposal |GA32_RP_IBA|.

Master's students: upload your Research Proposal Topic in Semester 1 and Research Proposal in Semester 2 in the GA41 Research Methods assessment area.

Chapter 1-3, Chapter 1-4 and final version Graduation Assignment/Final Project: on the Graduation Assignment online area in the block you plan to graduate (check out the deadlines in the submission areas).

Question:

GA/FP: How much time does it take to write a Graduation Assignment?

(Last edited: Monday, 28 June 2021, 9:39 AM)
Answer:

 

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.

Question:

GA/FP: Is uploading Chapter 1-3 and Chapter 1-4 mandatory?

(Last edited: Monday, 28 June 2021, 9:35 AM)
Answer:

 

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.

Question:

GA/FP: When can I apply for an Academic Supervisor and how?

(Last edited: Monday, 28 June 2021, 9:32 AM)
Answer:

 

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.
