An Additional Learning Requirement (OFA) is a pathway assigned to you if, during an entrance test or initial assessment, you do not achieve the minimum score required in a specific subject area or fail to meet certain prerequisites for your study programme. Its purpose is to help you address any gaps and better prepare for your academic journey.

If you have not completed your Additional Educational Requirements (OFA) within the first year of your degree course, you can temporarily enrol in the second year, but you will only be able to take your second-year exams if you have completed your OFA within the set deadline. 

If you do not pass the OFA within the set deadline, you will be enrolled as a first-year student in a supplementary year. This means that you will not be able to attend any second-year courses and therefore you will not be allowed to sit any second-year exams.

How to fulfil the OFA

You will be assigned an OFA if you obtain both of the following scores in the ARCHED test:

• A total score below 40 points
• Less than 2 points in the Physics and Mathematics section

The OFA is considered fulfilled if you pass the exams in General Physics and Mathematical Institutions within the 1st year.
