Courses and exam regulations

Courses and exams regulations (Faculty meeting 26.10.2015)

Admission to the second-year

PhD students’ admission to the program’s second year is conditional on approval by the Faculty Board based on academic performance during the first-year courses.

Attendance

Attendance to courses and seminars reported in the course schedule is mandatory. Any absence must be justified by e-mail to the course lecturer or the seminar organizer. Unmotivated absences will be considered when deciding admission to the second year.

Exams

Students are required to take all first-year exams without a no-show option. In case of absence, the student must provide the secretariat with a medical certificate or other appropriate justification. Missed exams without reasonable motivation will be considered a failure and might be subject to further investigation by the Faculty Board.

During the first year of coursework, in case a student fails to complete:

1. More than four exams

2. Courses corresponding to 90 or more teaching hours

Her/his non-admission to the second year will be automatically proposed to the Faculty Board.
