Examinations and tests

In order to evaluate to what extent you have reached the aims of the study programme, there are a number of test activities during the four semesters. The tests may be oral and written examinations, assessments of projects and other assignments, participation in seminars and workshops, etc.

The tests may be internal or external. In external examinations, an external examiner appointed by the Danish Ministry of Education participates. In internal examinations, the assessment/grading is done by one or more lecturers appointed by VIA University College. It will be evident from the examination rules of the individual test whether it is an internal or external test and who participates in the assessment/grading.

It may be a condition for participating in the tests that one or more compulsory assignments/activities in certain courses and/or projects have been approved.

For further information about the examinations and tests of the programme, please confer the curriculum.

Grading Scales
Grading of examinations is done in accordance with the new Danish grading scale: The 7-point grading scale. The 7-point scale has been implemented by the Danish Ministry of Education with the intention of ensuring uniformity in the evaluation of achievements at the institutions where it is used.
