# Student and top talent

## Dual career

Do you have a top performance in the field of sports, culture or entrepreneurship and do you want to combine it with a study at TU/e? We are happy to help you shape your dual career.

We support students with a dual career in different ways. Together with you, we look at what is needed to combine your studies with your other career as well as possible.

### Our support can consist of:

- A customized study program
- An adapted standard for binding recommendation (bsa) on the continuation of your studies
- A (partial) exemption from the attendance obligation
- Replacement assignments for mandatory meetings/assignments in case of absence
- Customized assessment provisions (different form, different time, etc.)
- Postponement of deadlines
- A free sports card for top athletes
- A double career certificate with your graduation
- Financial compensation for any study delay caused by the combination of study and the exercise of top talent. This compensation is arranged via the Student Financial Support.

### In order to qualify for this support, you must meet a number of conditions

- The non-academic career must be exercised at the highest level. This means that you belong to the (sub)top at national or international level of your sports or cultural career or entrepreneurship.
- You will be working on your top talent for at least 16 hours a week.

If you meet these conditions, you may qualify for a top talent status. Would you like to know if you qualify for this? Please contact [Misha Latuhihin](#) of the student sports center (only for top athletes) or the [student counsellors](#) of the TU/e.
