Attendance
Students are obliged to attend at least 60% of lectures.
Exams
- Achieved success in a course shall be evaluated through a final exam and seminar work.
- The topic of the seminar work for each course shall be chosen in the first two weeks of the lecture. The seminar work shall be delivered at the last (10th) week of the lecture. It shall consist of 7,500-10,000 words (tables, graphs are excluded).
- The maximum number of credit points (a) for the final exam is 60% (b) for seminar work is 40% of the total number of points.
- The student who has not passed the exam may enter exam 2 (two) more times during the make-up exam sessions.
Student workload:
Please calculate the “Total Student Workload” and then distribute that figure to the different engagements. For calculating the Total Student Work Load we multiply the course ECTS credits with standard figure 30. (ECTS Credit: 6) x 30 = 180 hours.
