Undervisningens upplägg

The course includes some lectures but consists mainly of different types of seminars where students are expected to prepare in advance and to take active part in the seminar discussion. It is therefore necessary that students study assigned cases, along with relevant EU legislation and textbook chapters and/or academic articles before each class. Further instructions on the preparation requirements for each class will be handed out to the student at the beginning of the course. Some of the seminars are mandatory, as indicated by the schedule. The course is taught in English and all materials used in the course are in the English language. A student who has been accepted and registered for the course has the right to teaching and guidance only during the term/academic year when he/she was accepted and registered. Transfers Students have the right to apply to have a previous education or experience evaluated for transfer of credits. For more information, see: www.umu.se/studentcentrum/regler_riktlinjer/index.html

Examination

In order to complete the course students are required to actively participate in all the mandatory seminars, as indicated by the schedule. Failure to attend or actively participate in a mandatory seminar will result in the student having to produce a paper. There will be a written test (at the University) at the end of the course, comprising 100 % of the grade of the course. On the written test the grades awarded are Fail (U), Pass (G) and Pass with distinction (VG). For the course as a whole the grade awarded are Fail (U), Pass (G) and Pass with distinction (VG). The grade for the course as a whole is based on the result of the written test. The appointed examiner may decide to use other forms of examination if required by particular circumstances. A student who has not received a passing grade on a test will be afforded an opportunity for re-examination. A student who has passed examination may not be re-examined. A student who has taken two tests for a course or segment of a course, without passing, has the right to have another examiner appointed, unless special reasons exist. A written request for change of examiner is submitted to the Director of Undergraduate Education.
