2A.11 Study advice
The Foundation Phase has three main functions: orientation, selection, and reference.
Orientation should provide the students with insight in the education they will receive during the
next three academic years. The learning activities in this phase should be representative of the
education as a whole. The students should also get a good idea about the field/profession they
are training for. Selection should provide an adequate insight in whether or not the student is
competent for this education and the hospitality profession.
Reference means the student can get a negative binding study advice (bsa) to leave the school,
in case of proven incompetence.
During the foundation phase, we regularly test students‟ competences.
Before completing the Foundation Phase, students get a study recommendation, based on the
results of their studies. This recommendation has four options:
a positive recommendation for further study at IHM when the student has obtained the
Foundation Phase Certificate;
a conditional positive recommendation for further study at IHM when the student has a
minimum of 42 European Credits (excluding exemptions from the foundation phase and/or
the post-foundation phase);
a negative recommendation with binding advice to discontinue their studies at IHM when a
student has less than 42 EC (excluding exemptions). To a negative advice a rejection is
attached which means that the student cannot re-register for this study programme.
a conditional negative recommendation. Students who receive this advice should go to the
BSA hearing. On the basis of this hearing the conditional negative recommendation will be
changed into a conditional positive recommendation or a negative recommendation. By not
attending the BSA hearing the conditional negative recommendation will be changed in a
negative recommendation.
Students with exemptions need to have obtained 2/3 of the maximum obtainable credits of the
foundation phase. For late arrivals, the exam committee issues adapted norms.
Within the first year of enrolment the student has to pass a pre-determined norm for their
Binding Study Advice (BSA). After the second year of enrolment the student should have passed
all elements of the foundation phase.
The study recommendation is sent before 31 July (September intake) and 31 January (February
intake)..
Students of the September cohort 2010 with a conditional positive recommendation must get
their Foundation Phase Certificate before 31 August 2012 and students of the February 2011
intake must get their Foundation Phase Certificate before 28 February 2013 Students od the
February 2010 intake must get their Foundation Phase Certificate before 28 February 2012.
If they fail to do so, they will receive a negative recommendation with binding advice to
discontinue their studies.
