More students in Nijmegen commit fraud more often. That was an observation of the chairmen of the exam committee of the Radboud University in Nijmegen. Students cheat during exams, and parts of extended essays are copied from the internet.
Investigation within the exam committee showed that fifteen of the twenty-one examiners have caught students on committing fraud. Students are more likely to commit fraud during the end of the school year. The bigger studies, such as Law and Business Administration are the two which have most frauds.
The examiners think the increasing fraud is caused by heavy study pressure and an increasing finan-cial pressure upon students.
