Quality Control in Higher Education: The AMOS System

Abstract

Before 1982 there was no formal limitation to the time students could be enrolled in Dutch universities. As long as they paid the (relatively small) fees, they could remain registered, for the most part, at the university of their choices. The formal course length in most disciplines was five (six years in medicine), but the de facto time required for graduation was often longer. The median study time in many fields was well over six years.
