Chapter 2: Admission to research master’s candidature

2.11 Probationary candidature

Probationary candidature applies for all research master’s candidates. See also Section 3.8 in Chapter 3.
Except where GRC in any particular case otherwise determines, where:

• the study program is of 1.5 years (full-time) duration, the first six to nine months full-time (or equivalent) is a period of probationary candidature;
• the study program is of two years (full-time) duration, the first nine to twelve months full-time (or equivalent) is a period of probationary candidature.

The head of the academic unit may lodge a request for deferral of the confirmation process where it is anticipated that a candidate will transfer to doctoral candidature following at least nine months full-time or 24 months part-time candidature.
