| 4. | Assessment Regulations | For any course and the Master thesis, the student's
performance will be specified with the local grading system of each
institution. To obtain the necessary 120 credit points which are
required for the award each course unit must be successfully passed. A
student has the opportunity to re-attempt a failed course shortly
after the first examination. A student who has not passed a course
after this opportunity of a second attempt can repeat the examination
the following academic year, if the course is then still included
in the programme. In such a case the student may have to accept that the course plan may have been changed. A deferral of a unit is possible where a student has been unable to complete assessments because of recognised extenuating circumstances or for other valid reasons, or whose performance on a particular unit is considered to have been adversely affected due to factors judged to be valid by the local programme management. In a deferral the student is given the opportunity of taking the assessments concerned as if for the first time and the mark then attained stands. |
