Students will learn through a coordinated set of learning arenas at the workplace, both classroom tuition and other activities (e.g. language café), and course participants are expected to participate actively in these.

Attendance is compulsory for the first lecture.

Separate grades are given for the written and the oral exam. In the final grade the written exam counts 2/3 while the oral exam counts 1/3. Both the written and the oral exam need to be passed in order to pass the exam. Students must retake both parts if they fail either part.
