The intention is to launch a cohort system in a fixed specialized track. This means that the students will all start at the same time in the Fall 2012. This cohort study, in principle, gives the group opportunity to equal guidance to the entire group with the added benefit that students will be able to enjoy collaborative learning.
In the provisional framework the Open University will offer the curriculum materials in print, access to its online teaching environment and the exams. USM will coordinate the training and supervision thereof via a tutor system. The guidance aims to ensure that the cohort of students will maintain the required pace of study. The task of the USM facilitators will be to provide further explanation of the substance in the material, answer questions and assist in preparing for eventual exams. The guidance will be provided by local experts, who all hold a master degree in Dutch law.
The program is scheduled to start in Fall 2012. Persons interested in following this law program are requested to contact the Admission Office at the University of St. Martin at 542-5171 or 542-2356 Ext. 1000 for further information.
