More info about the coursework requirements

7 exercises are included in the course, where 5 (freely selected) of the exercises are mandatory.

Exercises are performed individually or as project work by student teams. Students attending the practical exercises on-site can deliver exercise reports as a team. Students attending via distance learning are required to elaborate exercise reports individually.

More info about the oral exam

Oral examination: Based on a time schedule each candidate will have a 60 minute oral examination. Candidate no."1" will draw a set of question to be discussed during his/her examination. Candidate no. "2" will enter the examination immediately after Candidate no 1. and will have to answer the same questions as candidate no "1". Candidate no. "3" make a new draw of questions for him/her and the next candidate to arrive etc.

Re-sit examination

Students who do not pass the previous ordinary examination can gain access to a re-sit examination.
