For å kunne framstille seg til eksamen må studenten ha følgende godkjente arbeidskrav:

• Arbeidskrav 1: En individuell innleveringsoppgave. Oppgavens omfang tilsvarer i arbeidsmengde omtrent det samme som en skriftlig eksamen i emnet.

Formålet med arbeidskravet er at studentene skal få trening i å arbeide med problemstillinger knyttet til sentrale deler av pensum.

Arbeidskrav må være gjennomført og godkjent innen fastlagt frist for at studenten skal kunne framstille seg til eksamen. Dersom arbeidskravet ikke blir godkjent, gis det anledning til å kunne levere en forbedret versjon én gang innen angitt frist.
