Examination details

Grading scale: TH - (U,3,4,5) - (Fail, Three, Four, Five)
Assessment: The examination consists of two written exams, one for building technology and one for building services engineering, compulsory construction tasks and a compulsory workshop. Both exams consist of a theoretical part and a calculation part, both must be approved at the same occasion. The final grade is weighted together by the two exams. Well performed construction tasks can raise the final grade.

The examiner, in consultation with Disability Support Services, may deviate from the regular form of examination in order to provide a permanently disabled student with a form of examination equivalent to that of a student without a disability.
