Examination Regulations, Assessment and Grading
Every student must register to courses at the beginning of each semester, and must be continued theoretical courses at least 70%, applications at least 80% for to take final exam. Students for each course at least one midterm and final exam are subjected to. The midterm exam contribution (as the midterm grade homework, laboratory exams, quizzes, etc. can be evaluated in the scores obtained from measuring instruments) is 40% and the final exam contribution is 60% for the success grade. All exams are evaluated over 100 points. Final exam are required to obtain at least 50 points. Students, which have received one of the letter grade AA, BA, BB, CB and CC, are considered successful from that course. DC and DD notes are notes that are conditionally successful. For to become successful from a course which the student´s grade is DC or DD, overall weighted grade point average must be at least 2.0.
12
Graduation Requirements
To complete the program successfully, students must achieve all of the general and elective courses (a total of 120 ETCS) which are required for the program, general weighted grade point average must be at least 2.0 on a 4.00 and must have completed internship.
