  • An oral presentation and discussion (20 + 10 minutes)

The portfolio examination cannot be appealed.

All forms of support materials are permitted.

Grading scale

The portfolio exam is assessed as a whole and graded A-F.

A grading scale from A to E is used, where A denotes the highest grade, E denotes the lowest, and F denotes a fail. Grades are assigned according to the Assessment Criteria for Bachelor-s Theses in Engineering set by the Norwegian Association for Higher Education Institutions.

All members of the group receive the same grade. Under exceptional circumstances, individual grades can be assigned at the discretion of the EPS teaching team and the Head of the EPS.

Examiners

Two examiners, one internal and one external.

The project supervisor(s) and the external examiner assess the portfolio, consisting of the written report and the oral presentation, as a whole.

Admission requirements

The program is mainly offered to third year engineering students, but students from other disciplines may apply. The EPS is also an alternative to writing the regular Final Thesis for third year BA-students at the Faculty of Technology, Art and Design.

Candidates must have a qualification equivalent to two years of relevant college education. Proficiency in English is required.
