Student rights and obligations

The assignment of a subject implies a mutual commitment: on the one hand, you as a student commit to taking up the chosen subject and, on the other hand, the promotor commits to you that you will be able to carry out this subject..

As a student, you are always responsible for the content of your master's dissertation. Your tutor supports you throughout the master's dissertation process, but is not responsible for the final outcome.

Student rights

  • You use Galileo as your basic platform for scientific communication (writing and speaking). Your tutor guides you through the process and provides feedback.
  • The responsible use of generative AI is allowed. Go through the learning path ‘Generative AI for Students: From concepts to creation’ in the UFORA course 'Masterproef -Master Dissertation' so that you are well informed about what you can, may and want to do with generative artificial intelligence (GAI) in your master's dissertation.
  • You are entitled to get the necessary supervision, guidance and feedback. Read here what you can expect of your tutor and promotor!

Student obligations

  • Read carefully and follow up the information and communication about the master's dissertation which you can find on the FBE website and Ufora info sites
  • Consult your promotor/ tutor as agreed
  • Respect the agreements made in the lab/company
  • Follow up the feedback you get from your promotor and tutor
  • Respect the agreed deadlines
  • Respect the guidelines for the written dissertation
  • Act according to the conventions of scientific integrity
  • Do not forget to ask for help when needed
