Teaching and assessment

Each module is taught and assessed within a 3-week period (“block mode”).• Typically, teaching in first 2 weeks, assessment in

3rd week.• All assessment is 100% coursework.

Including in-class test which might “look like” exams.

After this, the next module starts. We do not use an exam period for our MSc.

• In January, immediately after the 4th module, we start with the 5th module.

• This allows you to start with your MSc projects earlier.
