Workshops/lectures, supervised assignment and project work as well as individual studies.

Requirements for pass (grade A-E):

Passed 2 individual assignments (2 credits each), passed a group assignment (1 credit), and passed the lab exercises (2,5 credits in total).

The final grade is based on the assignments and the exercises, which are weighted to their individual workload (2 + 2 + 1 + 2,5 credits).

The University provides students who are taking or have completed a course with the opportunity to share their experiences of and opinions about the course in the form of a course evaluation that is arranged by the University. The University compiles the course evaluations and notifies the results and any decisions regarding actions brought about by the course evaluations. The results shall be kept available for 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.
