Introduction

Combined assessment:

Part 1) Assessment of practical training. The minimum attendance requirement for the practical training period is 90%. For more information about the attendance requirement in practical training, see ‘Assessment of external practical training’ in the main section of the programme description.

Part 2) Individual written home exam, 2,000 words (+/- 20%). The assignment is handed out at the start of the course and must be submitted after the end of the practical training period.

Both part 1 and 2 must be approved to pass the course. A pass is required in part 1 to be able to take part 2, the written home exam.

New assessment/exam. If the student fails part 1 (practical training period), he/she must normally retake the whole practical training period. If the student fails part 2, the home exam, he/she will be given one (1) opportunity to submit a reworked version.

Students can appeal the grade awarded for part 2, the home exam.
