These written tests tend to be very detailed. Thoroughly studying the literature is regarded as being essential for success. Sometimes an oral exam is required at the end of a course. Some courses are assessed by means of a written paper or essay and by means of an oral presentation and a defence thereof. The type of examination of the courses taught in English is indicated in the paragraph on the contents of the courses.
Examinations take place at the end of every trimester.
Classes will often be divided in smaller groups, where students will work on different assignments together with their peers coming from different countries. In this manner an international and stimulating atmosphere will be achieved in the classroom. Students are expected to obtain 42 study points a year. This corresponds to 42 weeks of full-time study a year. This average estimate is based upon a 40-hour work week.
