Binding recommendation (BSA)

When studying at the TU Delft, you will be subject to the binding recommendation on the continuation of your studies (BSA). This means that you will have to gain a minimum of 45 EC credits (3/4 of the total number of credits) during your first year of studies in order to be allowed to proceed to the second year. If you fail to achieve this norm, your registration for the programme will be terminated and you will not be allowed to register for the same programme for four years. It goes without saying that you will receive interim advice and guidance during the year.

In extenuating circumstances, it might be possible to request for postponement BSA. Please visit www.bsa.tudelft.nl for all information to determine if your situation applies. On the aforementioned webpage also states the changes to the implementation of the BSA due to COVID-19.

If you think you might be a suitable candidate for a postponement, please contact the academic counsellors during their online open office hours (left on Brightspace) to further discuss your situation and options for postponement BSA.
