1) If the student has taken part in the writing of the BA project but has been unable to sit the oral exam, the student signs up for the re-exam and is examined on the basis of a re-submission of the original BA project.

2. If the student has taken part in the writing of the BA project but fails the oral exam, the student signs up for the re-exam and is examined on the basis of the original BA project. However, the student can also choose to submit a new individually written BA project within a dead-line set by the study board.

3. If the student has been unable to write / take part in the writing of the BA project due to illness, the student can sit the re-exam if the student submits an individually written BA project within a dead-line set by the study board.

In case 1 and 2 the student does not have access to supervision in the case of re-exam. In case 3 the study board may choose to grant the student access to supervision on the basis of the provision of necessary written documentation.
Beskrivelse af eksamensforløbet

The BA project may be written individually or in a group of 2-5 students. The oral examination of the BA project is an individual exam.
Kursets indhold, forløb og pædagogik

The aim of the BA project is to firmly establish the students' qualifications in the areas that the programme cover. With this aim in mind the students choose an area of interest among those they have been introduced to in the course of the programme within which they would like to write their BA project and formulate a research question. The research question should relate to the / one of those countries where the language that the student specialises in is spoken.
Undervisningsformer
In the context of the writing of the BA project the programme offers a number of lectures that address the most common problems that may arise in the process of project work. The lectures go into depth with these problems and unfold possible solutions. Focus is on five key areas;
- How to find and formulate a research question
- How to develop a research design
- How to identity and employ methods and data
- How to integrate theory and empirical data
- How to manage the writing and presentation of the project.


Furthermore, the program offers supervision paying due attention to the language that the student specialises in and therefore writes in the project in. The number of hours allocated to supervision follows the CBS norm and is including time for preparation.
