Learning outcomes
During the programme, you will develop your technical skills alongside exploiting the synergy of performing in teams. Our graduates possess an approach and methodology to solve the problems of tomorrow.
Teaching style
Teaching is structured around class tutorials, assignments, lab exercises and workshop practice.
Classes are small in order to allow group discussions and provide individualised attention. Focus is on active, student-centred learning to develop critical thinking and interpersonal skills.
Theory in classroom sessions is taught in the form of applied problem-based projects, preparing you for the working world.
Project work
We recommend that all exchange students do a project. Project work is a way of incorporating real-life contexts into the study programmes. Typically, students work in teams of 2-4 on a problem that they would like to analyse and solve - sometimes in cooperation with a company.
Staff from the faculties will assist students in forming teams and finding possible ideas for projects. All teams will be assigned one or more supervisors. These supervisors will guide students through their project work.
Evaluation and exams
Your learning outcome will be assessed according to your performance on in-course assignments, tests, presentations and written and oral examinations. The varied assessment methods support you in developing skills which you can benefit from in your future career.
Examinations are organised as individual tests assessed by external or internal examiners. For external examinations, an external examiner appointed by the Danish Ministry of Education will be called in. For internal examinations, the assessment will be done by lecturers appointed by VIA University College.
More information about examinations is contained in the course catalogue.
