The exam of the 2nd year Project weighs 25 ECTS and it consists of two examinations that are graded separately:

1) An oral, individual examination based on the 2nd Year Project as such (20 ECTS) and
2) An Executive Summary (5 ECTS, see below)

In the individual oral examination the examiner is not restricted to the literature and theories selected by the student, but can engage all required course readings from all six course modules from 2^nd year.

• The retake takes place according to the same rules as the regular examination. However, the following supplementary rules apply:
• i) For projects, where some of the group members receive a grade 00 or below at the oral defence, these students must submit, before the retake, individual supplementary written material on aspects of the project specified by the examiners. For guidance in this respect, the examiners will within eight working days of the oral examination give a written critique of the respective student performance and specify the supplementary material needed.

For projects where all members are awarded a grade of 00 or below at the oral defence, the overall project is deemed unacceptable. Before the retake the project must be revised and improved. For guidance in this respect, the examiners will give a brief written critique of the project within eight working days of the oral examination.

The Executive Summary weighs 5 ECTS
It is a summary of the project written in a concise, precise manner to a specific target group. The Executive Summary is a 1 page independent document assessed by two internal examiners.

Learning objectives of the Executive Summary:
The ability to formulate and present a complex issue in a concise, precise manner to a specific target group.
An adequate level of written English that does not constitute a barrier to communication and does not contain significant lexical or grammatical errors
