Same examination form as the ordinary exam
The re-take takes place according to
the same rules as the regular examination. However, the following
supplementary rules apply:
For projects, where some of the group members receive a grade 00 or
below at the oral defence, these students must submit, before the
re-take, individual supplementary written material on aspects of
the project specified by the examiner and external censor. For
guidance in this respect, the examiner and external examiner 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 deference, the overall project is deemed unacceptable.
Before the re-take the project must be revised and improved. For
guidance in this respect, the examiner and external censor will
give a brief written critique of the project within eight working
days of the oral examination.

Description of the exam
procedure
The exam is an individual, oral exam in curriculum based on the
Bachelor’s Project, written in groups of 2-4 students.
One grade is given, reflecting an overall assessment of the
project, the oral presentation, and the defence. The student’s
spelling and writing skills are taken into consideration in the
overall assessment of the examination performance, but the academic
content is given the highest
weight.

Aims and Requirements
Guided by the project’s research question, the project can draw on
knowledge from all three years of study. The Bachelor’s Project
shows the students' ability to integrate knowledge by
formulating an interdisciplinary problem and
conducting a systematic and valid analysis within the framework of
a complex theme.
The Bachelor’s Project is the final thesis in the undergraduate
programme, and the objective and requirements should be seen as a
continuation of the First and Second Year Projects. The
requirements are naturally more rigorous than the former projects
with regard to definition of the research question, methodology and
use of theory and data.
The data to be collected as part of the project work may be in
various forms of quantitative as well as qualitative data. In other
words: Data from documents retrieved from the Internet or other
sources, survey data and/or data from observations and interviews
may be relevant.
|
| Teaching methods |
| Before project work begins, the Study Board
annually prepares a manual that states the thematic framework,
submission deadline and other conditions concerning project work
process and organization. |
| Feedback during the teaching period |
| Feedback will be given at the oral
exam. |
| Student workload |
| Preparation of Thesis |
380 hours |
| Preparation of Exam |

| Total |
