Students will be encouraged to accomplish part of their training at a foreign institute. In order for this to be possible, the programme structure is flexible (with maximum modularity and semestrialization). For students who do not go abroad, the international dimension is created by attracting guest lecturers. In view of the problems of enduring development, part of the efforts towards internationalization will be given an explicitly global dimension. A good deal of the training modules are clearly focused on stimulating critical reflection. This characteristic, inherent to the training, will be used to the full to highlight the relations between man, nature and society, in a future-oriented perspective .

A student’s final result is a weighted average of the exam results the student has obtained for all the programme components of his/her training programme. In calculating the final result, the credits corresponding to the various programme components are used for weighting the results obtained for those components.
The final result is expressed as an integer out of 100.
A student whose final result is less than 50 out of 100 can never be declared successful.
A student is successful for the Bachelor’s programme if he/she has obtained credits for all the programme components in his/her training programme.
The examination board can declare a student who has not obtained credits for all the programme components successful if it can substantiate why it believes that the objectives of the programme have been achieved.
