This decision comes after WUR discussed the matter with other universities. WUR is, however, keeping its options open to some extent; measures may be adjusted depending on how the pandemic develops in the Netherlands. ‘There may be room for fieldwork and practicals in the second half of period 6,’ according to a letter sent to programme directors.
An exception may also be made for lab and experimental work in graduation subjects. Permission will be needed from the chair-holder for this. Students who need to work in a campus building as a result must stick to WUR’s coronavirus hygiene rules.
