Law and Information Technology in Europe (5 ECTS)

: Guest Speakers: Prof. dr. H.J. van den Herik, mr drs. A.C. Beunen, Prof. mr R.E. van Esch, mr J.A. Tempelman, mr A.W. Duthler, mr dr. G.J. Zwenne.

: Exam: The exam is a so called "open book exam". You can only sit an exam when you are registered for it via U-Twist! Students are themselves responsible for registering for exams. You can register up to 10 days before the exam date. Registration via U-Twist is not possible after the deadline. In case you fail to meet the deadline, and still want to take the exam you can register at the Office for International Law Programmes up to 3 weekdays (not "weekend"-days) before the exam. Registration at the Office will only take place after payment of Euro 20. This late-registration-procedure is a gesture of the Law Faculty and in no way a right to registration.
