Are you a top (e-)athlete? Then we’ll work out an arrangement for you to make your study obligations as compatible as possible with training and competition. This can include exam facilities (rescheduling exams), moving traineeships, a replacement assignment for permanent evaluation, a free sports card, subsidies for student championships at European championship or World Cup level ... A recognition as top (e-)athlete only applies for one academic year. You will have to renew the application annually.
