The UVMB offers an individual study plan for students who received multiple major subject exemptions from the first and second curricular years simultaneously. This program is referred to as “2in1.” Participants in the 2in1 program have the opportunity to complete the first two academic years within two semesters, while paying tuition fees for only one academic year.
The 2in1 program is a high-risk, high-reward opportunity. Students who fail to successfully complete their required subjects within the two semesters will be placed in inactive status. Students who successfully complete the program may significantly accelerate their academic progress and save one academic year, both in time and tuition fees.
For all subjects from which no exemption has been granted, the same rules and regulations apply as for regular students, including all academic, attendance, and exam requirements (including exam chances, exam dates etc.). Given the tight and strictly regulated nature of the regular academic schedule, participation in the 2in1 program is possible only if the student has received exemptions covering at least 50% of the total contact hours of the first two curricular years.
Detailed regulations governing the 2in1 program are available in the Student Guide.
Students may apply for the program only if they have submitted substantial exemption requests for at least two of the following final examination groups: Anatomy 1–2–3, Veterinary Biochemistry 1–2, and Veterinary Physiology 1–2, in addition to a significant number of exemption requests from other subjects.
Applications are evaluated by the Vice-Rector of Study Affairs, who will decide on approval on a case-by-case basis, based on the exemptions awarded. Appeal against this decision is not possible.
The decision on the application will be made only after all corresponding subject exemption requests have been decided upon. If these requests are submitted too late, the decision may be issued during the semester, which may compromise the student’s ability to participate in the 2in1 program.
The application deadline is the 20th August.
