Every module is concluded with an examination.

The modules are partly concerned with written examinations and partly concerned with project work or design projects.

You will be informed of the method of examination for each of the respective modules by your lecturers at the beginning of each semester.

Course participants must pass all examinations with a minimum grade of 4.0. However, in the case of failure, you will receive one chance to repeat or, in special circumstances, the possibility of two repeat attempts.

Examinations may be re-written in a central re-examination, held on a fixed date. If you can not participate in this appointment, you can arrange an individual appointment with the programme supervisor. The re-assessment appointment must not take place in the actual study location.

Virtual learning refers largely to telephone conferences which have proven to be very popular.

Together with your lecturer and fellow colleagues, you may clarify and ask general and basic questions, as well as discuss subjects relevant to the examination during these conferences.

The duration of each telephone conference varies considerably and depends on the study material that has been supplied previously. 

You are also given the opportunity to ‘chat' online using our intranet platform studIP. Furthermore, a forum is created for every module.

Some lecturers prefer students to write a collection of questions on the forum, which they answer 1x per week, others favour direct email contact or limit their contact to the telephone conferences.

You can contact the lecturers at any time by telephone or by email.
