Conditions for acceptance of the semester

Code of Studies and Regulations

Mid-term exams

Students are required to complete 2 written assessments during the semester on predetermined dates. The cumulative result of these assessments must be at least 60.1%. The institute provides an opportunity to make up any missed assessments; failure to take advantage of this opportunity results in a grade of 0% for that assessment. If the combined result of the two written assessments is below 60.1%, two opportunities for improvement are provided, in accordance with the Code of Studies and Examinations. The first retake assessment must achieve a minimum grade of 60.1%. If the first retake assessment is unsuccessful/insufficient, the second retake assessment must also achieve at least 60.1% for semester acceptance and eligibility for examination (provided that absences have not exceeded the specified limit).

Making up for missed classes

Students must fulfil requirements determined by the Code of Studies and Examinations.

Exam topics/questions

After the semester the exam is a complex exam from all Pharmaceutical Technology 1-2-3-4 courses evaluated by a five-grade system. Knowledge acquired is tested based on subject matter defined by a list of topics provided by the institute.The end-semester exam will be evaluated by a five-grade system.

Knowledge acquired is tested based on subject matter defined by a list of topics provided by the institute.

At the end of semester, students take oral exam. Chance "B" and "C"are also oral exams, which is preceded by the "Minimum Test" (MT). To write the MT, students have at most 30 minutes, and will be evaluated percent rating. Those students, who achieve less than 60% in MT, unsatisfactory grade will be assessed and cannot pass them to the oral part of the exam.

Oral part includes two topics. In the case of any part done with insufficient knowledge, will result in assessment of the exam to unsatisfactory grade.

In addition to the exam topics, part of the exam is answering questions that aim at assessing the general knowledge of the student.
