Prerequisites

General entry requirements and 30 credits including 15 credits in Business Administration (or the equivalent).

Examination and grades

The course is graded Fail (U), Pass (G) or Pass with Distinction (VG).

Students are evaluated individually, based on individual (written exam) and group assignments (case and live-case course project). The individual exam represents 50% of the course grade, the live-case course project 30 % and the case 20%. All three forms of evaluation partly assess all intended learning outcomes. However, the focus on each ILO differs between the forms of evaluation. The written exam emphasises knowledge and understanding, the case emphasises skills and abilities, and the live-case course project emphasises skills, abilities, assessment and attitude skills.
Students receive a pass or fail decision on each part of the course. To pass the course, students must pass each part of the course, acquiring a minimum of 60% of the total course points. To pass the course with distinction, students must pass each part of the course acquiring a minimum of 80% of the total course points.

The grade is translated to the ECTS grading scale (A, B, C, D, E, Fx or F).
