All parts of the course and the written individual final examination must be approved in order for the course in its entirety to be regarded as passed.
Other directives
Student failing examination the first time is allowed 4 re-examinations (= in total 5 examinations). After 5 failed examinations, the student can lose his or her spot in the programme. If special circumstances apply, the programme committee can admit additional examination attempts.
