Course history

Introduction

Det er ikke mulighet for studier i utlandet da dette er et årsstudium.

Required preliminary courses

Arbeidskrav er krav som er direkte knyttet opp mot eksamensretten, det vil si at man ikke får adgang til eksamen dersom ikke arbeidskravet er godkjent. Arbeidskrav vil være angitt i den enkelte kursbeskrivelse under punktet Arbeidskrav/Fagkrav. Arbeidskrav må leveres/gjennomføres innen fastsatte frister. Overskridelse av fristen medfører at en ikke får avlegge eksamen i faget. Arbeidskravets omfang, frister, og regler for innlevering opplyses av faglærer ved undervisningsstart. For mer informasjon om arbeidskrav vises det til heftet Viktig studieadministrativ informasjon, bl.a. i tilfeller hvor det er innført nye arbeidskrav.
