Testing

The working methods during this exchange are varied: (guest)lectures, tutorials, practical’s, excursions, (group)projects, PBL and field trips.
Assessment takes place by means of written tests, report writing, assignments and presentations.
Problem-Based Learning (PBL), the working method used in some of the courses, is a teaching method often used in higher education. In groups of around 8 to 10 students and under the supervision of a tutor you will work on solving PBL case studies. This educational approach places considerable demands on your own initiative to learn and manage your independent study. In some courses, you will work together with your fellow students on group projects connected to the topics of the courses.
Last but not least, you will be assigned a coach to discuss your personal and professional development.

Costs

Approximately 140 Euros for excursions (the introduction trip is excluded, costs are unknown now).
