Teaching methods

Contact teaching consists of lectures, simulation exercises and practical laboratory exercises.
The course also includes remote calculation exercises and simulation exercises.

Exam dates and retake possibilities

Examination at the end of the course in late autumn 2024.
Two re-exams.

Alternative completion methods

The admission procedures are described in the degree rule and the study guide. The teacher of the course will give you more information on possible specific course practices.

Student workload

One credit is calculated as an average of 27 hours of work, so a five-credit course has a workload of around 135 hours.
Lectures 40 h
Study of material 30 h
Practical work (simulations) 35 h
Distance assignments 20 h
Self-assessment and reflection 5 h
Examination and possible re-examinations 5 h

Further information for students
