You can use the draft function in the Plan App to create a draft plan. Within the draft plan it is possible to plan courses, without making changes to your original (approved) plan. You can use this function when you are thinking about doing another specialisation, bachelor or master. This might help you to get an idea of how this might work out. Subsequently, when you think your draft plan is a better plan than your original (approved) plan, it is possible to request approval for this draft plan. When you do this, the draft plan becomes the main plan and the original (approved) plan is overruled. When you overrule your original (approved plan), you again have to request approval for your new plan. How to request approval is described in the manual How to request approval for electives?
