Schedule
  • Introduction

    The following coursework requirements must have been approved in order for the student to take the exam:

    • Student must participate in at least four of the seminar exercises.
    • An oral presentation, presented by the group, as well as peer feedback to another group's work. The presentation can be anything from a presentation of results from that group's work, to presenting the most interesting group discussion or reflection on course related topics.

    Attendance during the group presentation is mandatory, and presentations and feedback must be approved by the course lecturer. Students who are not present or that have not provided input to the group or have not participated in providing feedback to a peer group, and presentations that are not approved, will have to submit an alternative qualification to be able to sit for the examination.

    Lack of an approved course work requirement will disqualify the student from taking part in the final examination.

  • Required preliminary courses

    All aids are permitted, as long as the rules for source referencing are complied with.

  • Learning outcomes

    Grade scale A-F.

  • Teaching and learning methods

    The exam papers are assessed by one internal and one external examiner.

    At least 25% of the exam papers will be assessed by two examiners. The grades awarded for the papers assessed by two examiners form the basis for determining the level for all the exam papers.
