Compulsory assignments
- Exercises
- Project work
Further on evaluation
Re-sit exam in March. In case of re-sit exam the written exam may be changed to oral exam. Exercises must be approved to pass a written exam. Project work must be approved to submit the project report. Re-sit exam and voluntary repetition may be carried out for each assesment. There is a right to make a complaint against grades in each assessment independently. In the case of applications for crediting, approving and filing of subjects from previous cohorts or other institutions' corresponding education programs, each application will be processed individually and the applicant must be able to include credits reduction on overlapping subjects.
