During the course a number of lectures/seminars are conducted. Large parts of the course are carried out in the form of independent study and group work.

Grading is based on oral and written examination, including active participation, through the following elements:

• Assignments - 10 credits - UA
• Case Study - 5 credits - UA

Requirements for pass grade (A-E): Pass in all elements.

The final course grade is weighted equally between Assignments and Case Study.

The course has no specific course literature instead, the material will be available via the learning platform.

The student searches for and selects relevant literature for each assignment.

The university provides all students who are participating in, or have completed, a course to express their experiences and views on the course through a course evaluation which is organized at the end of the course. The university will collate the course evaluations and provide information about their results and any actions prompted by them. The results shall be made available to the students. (HF 1:14).

When a course is no longer given, or the contents have been radically changed, the student has the right to re-take the examination, which will be given twice during a one year period, according to the syllabus which was valid at the time of registration.

If a student has a Learning support decision, the examiner has the right to provide the student with an adapted test, or to allow the student to take the exam in a different format.

The syllabus is a translation of a Swedish source text.
