Exchange students enrolled in this programme will be required to attend and pass OLAs and exams in order to obtain the credits connected to the study plan. At the end of the semester, the exchange student will receive a grade for the chosen elective subject (5 ECTS), a grade for the chosen specialisation (5 ECTS) and a grade based on the 1st year portfolio exam (20 ECTS).
The specialisation exam will be individual and testing the student’s knowledge and application of specialisation content. The student will work with designing products related to their specialisation.
The Elective exam will be held at the end of the elective module. It can vary in form and process according to the elective subjects catalogue.
The 1st year portfolio exam collects the knowledge and test from the OLAs throughout the semester. It is an individual exam, where the student has to show a deeper understanding of the elements learned during the first year of studying. Exchange students will only be tested on knowledge based on their their OLAs of the semester they are participating in.
OLAs (obligatory learning assignments) are shorter tests at the end of the different modules that have to be passed throughout the semester. They do not assign direct credits but have an impact on the overall result of the 1st year portfolio exam.
