Programme description

  • Introduction

    Students may use a spelling dictionary, as well as a bilingual dictionary during the written school exam.

  • Required preliminary courses

    Students are awarded grades on a descending scale from A to E for pass and F for fail.

  • Learning outcomes

    Exams are assessed by an internal and an external examiner. External examiners assess a random sample consisting of at least 25 per cent of the exams. The grades given for this sample provide a basis for the internal examiner's assessment. The external examiner will also assess papers where there is doubt about giving a grade of pass.

  • Course requirements

    Students must submit a coursework requirement of 18 pages (+/-10%) on a topic relevant to the course, to be approved by the course lecturer. The topic of the work requirement will reflect main areas of the course curriculum and lectures. The coursework requirement should be written in groups of 4-6 students. Students whose papers are not approved after the first submission will be given the chance to resubmit once and they may be required to resubmit papers of about 10 pages individually. Students whose papers are not approved after two submissions will disqualify from sitting the final examination.

  • Assessment

    The student's learning outcome will be assessed on the basis of an individual six-hour written school examination.

  • Permitted exam materials and equipment

    Students may use a spelling dictionary, as well as a bilingual dictionary during the written school exam.

  • Grading scale

    Students are awarded grades on a descending scale from A to E for pass and F for fail.

  • Examiners

    The written examination is assessed by an internal and an external examiner. The external examiner grades a random sample consisting of 25 per cent of the written exams. The grades given for this sample provide a basis for internal examiners who will be grading the other exams. The external examiner will also grade papers where there is doubt about giving a grade of pass.
