Since 2003, the academy made some changes to its faculties to conform with the
Bologna Process. Both degrees are now taught within a five-year span. After the first three years, students receive a
bachelor degree. The
master's degree can be attained in succeeding the following two years. In contrast to the common Bologna implementation, flexibility in attaining the degrees is not greatly augmented. Student can only fail for one year within all five. Re-exams are, however, possible. Student cannot take courses with them to the next year; they have to pass the re-exams. Before 2003 most courses were fixed, but students had a limited choice of optional courses. A lot of flexibility regarding course choices was added by implementing course modules. Students can opt for certain modules which each hold specific and related courses. For example: • Law module • Psychology module • Weapon systems module (
ballistics) • Management module • Marine science module • History module • Communication & Information Systems module (
telecom,
computer security, electricity) The choice of course module is not always free, but is related with the chosen military speciality of the student (infantry, logistics, transmission, air traffic control, artillery, naval forces..) and often mandatory. The majority of the courses remains fixed in the bachelor years. In the master's years, the students follow more modules than fixed courses. ==Nationalities==
