Examination Regulations, Assessment and Grading

Each student must register for each course at the beginning of the each semester and attend at least 70% of the each lecture. For each course, there are one midterm examination and one final examination at the end of each semester. The achievement grade of each course (theoretical and laboratory) is calculated by adding 40% of the midterm, 60% of the final grade for each course. All the exams are in 100 scales. Each student must take 70 out of 100 from the final exam.


Graduation Requirements

Students should succeed and pass all the courses (total 60 ECTS) and obtain a minimum GPA (Grade Point Average) of 2.00 over 4.00.
