Assessment and Exams 

The degree in Human Biology is awarded to those who have passed the course assessments and the examinations in the final year.

The assessments include:

  • written and oral examinations
  • written assignments
  • the thesis project
  • final oral exam based on the thesis and course content relevant to the research project

Some of the course assessments will result in a mark of pass/fail while others are evaluated according to the 7 point grading scale. 

All relevant course requirements must be fulfilled in order to sign up for the exams.

All examination subjects must be passed in order to commence the thesis project.

The thesis project is submitted at the end of the 4th semester, a few weeks prior to the oral examination. The oral examination is held by either an internal or external examiner.
