Teaching methods vary between lectures (e-lectures), seminars and student-active learning methods/group work.  

The following compulsory activities must have been approved in order for the student to take the exam: 

1. Compulsory participation in skills training 

The minimum attendance requirement for skills training in groups is 80%. If a student’s absence exceeds 20% but is lower than 40%, a compensatory coursework requirement will be set. The coursework requirement must be completed and approved by the given deadline. Absence in excess of 40% will result in loss of the right to take the exam. 

The reason why attendance is compulsory is that the student will in this way acquire competence necessary to meet the objectives of the course that they would be unable to acquire from solely reading the syllabus and/or taking the exam.  

Compulsory activities must be completed and approved by the given deadline in order for the student to take the exam. 

The course concludes with an oral exam in small groups, where the students make a presentation relating to a topic and skills relating to professional interaction. The group will be given a topic and/or questions to prepare 48 hours before the first day of the exam. 

Candidates who fail or who were absent from the ordinary exam for a valid reason can take a resit/rescheduled exam.  

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

Pass/fail.  

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