Assessment and oral examination

Oral examination

• The oral examination is on a par with any other examination.
• The time and date of the oral examination will be set by the department.
• A re-scheduled examination will only be granted in the event of illness or other valid absence.
• You will be notified at your student e-mail address when your examination committee and the date and time of your assessment and oral examination have been set, at least one week before your examination.
• The oral examination lasts for aproximately 30 minutes.
• It is up to you whether you want to be told the grade for your Master's dissertation immediately or if you want to be told your final grade at the end of the examination.
• The oral examination adjusts your grade, and consists of questions regarding your Master's dissertation, and an explanation of the grading of your dissertation.
• The explanation will account for the general principles applied in the assessment, and the assessment of the candidate’s performance.

Explanation

• You will receive an oral explanation of the grade during the oral examination.
• A written explanation will also be sent to your student e-mail address a few days after your examination.

Diploma

• 1–2 months after your oral examination, your diploma will become available as an electronically signed document in StudentWeb.
• The diploma is issued by the Faculty of Humanities. See Ordering diplomas at the Faculty of Humanities.
