It is always wise to contact your own study/academic advisor in advance about the possibilities to include external courses in your programme. Together with your study/academic advisor you could have a close look on how to fit a course into your regular programme and schedule. NOTE: if following external courses requires approval of your examination committee beforehand, it is your responsibility to arrange this. We will not check for this during the registration procedure/process.
No, it is not required for registration. However, we strongly advise you to consult either your study advisor and/or the Board of Examiners if want the course to be included in your program.
In such a case, contact your course coordinator or lecturer to discuss your options. Possibilities differ per institution.
The course design and attendance requirement can differ from one course to the other. In general, teachers are encouraged to use online and hybrid methods to increase the course's time- and place independency. The details are usually outlined in the course description. Therefore, have a close look at the course descriptions. If the information is missing, you are encouraged to contact the course coordinator or teacher indicating that you are an alliance student and ask for more information.
