EXAMINATION SPLITTING
For students who are not in their regular year of study, it is allowed to take the exam in two parts (both after regular booking through the computer system, specifying in the "notes" the part they intend to take). For the first exam part, the program covers the first and second sections as outlined in the course syllabus (with the same reference texts). For the second exam part, the program covers the third section as outlined in the course syllabus (with the same reference texts). It is advisable for the student to take the first exam part only once per session. Once the first part is passed, the second part must be successfully completed in the immediately following exam session, or else the validity of the first part will automatically expire. In case of failure to pass the second part, the student will forfeit the first part.
For attending students, both current and non-regular, further instructions will be provided during the first course lesson.
