Introduction
All exam papers are assessed by one internal and one external examiner. The supervisor must not be an examiner. In the event of a complaint about the grade, a new committee will be appointed, and the master's thesis will be reassessed. A new oral exam will be held if the grade changes.
Recommended preliminary courses
Combined exam:
Part 1) Assessment of supervised practical training. The assessment is based on the learning outcomes for the course and the continuous assessment made of the student's achievement of the learning outcomes for the practical training course. Students can only be assessed if they meet the minimum attendance requirement of 90% for the practical training. The minimum attendance requirement for the practical training period is 90%.
Part 2) Individual written assignment relating to the practical training, up to 2,000 words.
Both parts have to be assessed as passet to receive a final assessment for the course.
Resit assessment/exam: If a student fails one part of the exam, he/she must retake the part in question. Students who fail part 1) practical training normally have to retake the whole practical training course. Students who fail part 2) project exam are given two (2) opportunities to submit a reworked version, since this assignment is so closely linked to the practical training.
Students can appeal the grade awarded for part 2 (the project exam).
The following applies to all practical training courses in the programme
The supervised practical training is assessed as passed or failed. Three elements must be passed in order for students to pass a period of practical training:
- Compulsory attendance
- Learning outcomes
- Suitability
To pass the supervised practical training, the student must have met the compulsory attendance requirement. A minimum attendance requirement of 90% applies to practical training courses. If the maximum limit for absence is exceeded, the student can make up for the practical training/teaching activities missed if practically possible. If it is not possible to compensate for the absence, the whole period of supervised practical training must be retaken. This will result in delayed progress in the programme.
