12. Framework and criteria for the study programme exams

12.1 Academic aptitude examination

Exam form and procedure

The exam is an individual, internally assessed oral exam based on a written report.

Examination contents and formal requirements

The examination contents is based on the tuition and the activities during the period from

study start up to the time of the exam as well as the submitted report. The purpose is to

clarify whether the students have actually started on the study programme.

Four weekdays before the exam the students hand in a written account of the activities

held, including a reflection on their own learning process in connection with the activities.

Further, the account must include a reflection on how the students see their own future ef-

forts with a view to succeeding with the objectives of the programme as well as their own

individual goals, including student readiness.

3-4 standard pages are to be submitted (one standard page is 2,400 characters including

spaces). The students themselves organise the assignment. The cover page must include

date of submission, name of study programme, name of students, study number, class

name and the number of standard pages.

The oral part of the exam is based on the written reflection and is in the form of a conversa-

tion between lecturers and the individual students. The exam includes a test of the stu-

dents' knowledge of the different academic/professional components (which are not part of

the learning outcomes of the programme, and which are thus subject to subsequent exami-

nation), their use of the programme's different IT systems and their knowledge of relevant

staff/contact persons. Finally, it is up to the students to document their concrete study ac-

tivity, for instance through participation in the tuition, handing in of assignments (mandato-

ry assignments as well as assignment exercises) with a reasonable contents, acquisition of

syllabus, etc.

Scheduled time

The academic aptitude examination is held not later than two months after the start of the

programme.

Resit examinations are held not later than three months after the start of the programme.

General information about time and place can be found in the semester description and is

posted in detail on eCampus.

Assessment form

Pass/fail

Use of study aids

No study aids are permitted for the oral exam.

Examination language

The exam is conducted in the same language as the tuition.

ECTS credits of the exam

No ECTS credits are granted, and the exam does not figure on the degree certificate.

Assessment criteria

The exam is assessed as passed/failed based on an overall evaluation of the students' report

and examination, which combined must match the description under "Examination contents

and formal requirements" above.

If the students do not pass the test, they may take a resit exam to be held not later than

three months after the start of the programme. The students thus have two examination at-

tempts.

If the exam is failed

If students fail the resit exam, their registration as students will be terminated, cf. the Minis-

terial Order on admission to academy profession degree programmes and professional

bachelor's degree programmes (the Admission Order).


Complaints

The students cannot complain about the test.

Exemption

The study programme may exempt individual students from the deadlines that have been

set for passing the exam if the exemption is due to illness, maternity or paternity leave or

exceptional circumstances.

16. The examination in compulsory educational component 4: Market and

client relations









Examination procedure

The exam is an individual, internally assessed, written and oral examination graded accord-

ing to the 7-point grading scale.

The written part of the exam is a 48-hour 'take-home' assignment to be solved individually

based on a case introduction in English. The students are to solve the assignment within 48

hours.

Based on the written part the students are to prepare an oral defence of the solution sub-

mitted. The oral part of the examination lasts 30 minutes. The exam is conducted as a role

play where the respective students must demonstrate their presentation and argumenta-

tion skills and discuss their ideas with the management of the case enterprise.

The oral exam is started with a presentation of the main conclusions and suggested activi-

ties from the written project. The presentation will be in English and has a duration of no

more than ten minutes. No questions will be asked in connection with the presentation.

The students are expected to organise the presentation according to the weight and priority

of the case questions and to make sure that they do not go beyond the allocated time.

After the presentation, the internal and external examiners will play the role of the case en-

terprise's board of directors and ask questions about the suggested activities and solutions.

The questions may be asked about the entire 4th-semester syllabus, also about subjects

that are not part of the written project.


One overall grade is given, graded according to the 7-point grading scale, and the grade fig-

ures on the degree certificate. The written and oral parts are given equal weight, and the

presentation is assessed based on an overall evaluation.

18. Internship

Internship requirements and expectations

During the internship, the students will work on issues that are relevant to the profession

while achieving knowledge of relevant business functions. The connection between the

theoretical tuition and internship is the foundation for the students' learning outcomes for

the internship.

Based on the learning outcomes for the internship, cf. the national section of this Curricu-

lum, the students and the supervisors/contact persons will collaborate on setting the specif-

ic goals for the learning outcomes of the internship. The outcomes are written down and

placed in the study journal of the students.

These goals will determine the planning of the students' internship tasks and work.

The internship should be likened to a full-time job with the same requirements for working

hours, effort, commitment and flexibility that export & technology management graduates

can be expected to meet in their first jobs.

The internship may be organised in a flexible, varied manner and may form the basis of the

students' final exam project.

Exam participation prerequisites


Weekly updated internship diary, cf. the description in the internship manual, which is

found on eCampus.

The written project, which constitutes assessment as well as examination basis to-

gether with the internship diary, must meet the formal requirements, cf. below.

21. Educational components that may take place abroad

Each of the educational components of the study programme may take place abroad if the

students apply for and are granted pre-approval of credit transfer by the study programme.

Upon pre-approval of a study abroad period the students must, after conclusion of their

study abroad, document the completed educational components of the approved study

abroad. In connection with the pre-approval the students must give their consent to the in-

stitution obtaining the necessary information following completed study abroad.

For the final approval of pre-approved credit transfer, the educational component is consid-

ered completed if it is passed in accordance with the regulations applying to the study pro-

gramme.

22. Learning and teaching forms

In the export & technology management programme, we use a wide range of learning and

teaching methods that combined support the above and promote the achievement of the

learning outcomes described in this Curriculum.

The learning and teaching forms are based on UCN's common learning approach, which is

continuously updated and described at www.ucn.dk.

The overall tuition methods are dialogue-based class teaching, assignment work and project

work in groups. However, the programme also contains a lot of study group activities, self-

study activities, individual assignments and projects, presentations in front of groups and

the whole class, interdisciplinary theme activities and much more.

Common to all these activities is that we always try to define (or help you define) clear goals

for the learning activities.

23. Credit transfer for the elective educational components

Passed elective educational components are equivalent to the similar educational compo-

nents at other educational institutions that offer this study programme as well as in other

programmes.

http://www.ucn.dk/

Pre-approved credit transfer can be applied for if credit is requested for educational com-

ponents not offered by the programme.

24. Obligation to participate

For the teaching and learning methods of the study programme to work as intended, stu-

dents are under an obligation to participate, which includes an obligation to submit or pre-

sent assignments/projects.

The obligation to participate may also be a prerequisite for exam participation.

Furthermore, some programme elements may have compulsory attendance.

An obligation to participate and an obligation to attend, if any, that are prerequisites of par-

ticipating in exams, will appear from the description of the individual exam.

25. Criteria for assessing study activity Criteria for cessation of registration of students who are not participating actively in studies Registration will be terminated for students who have not passed at least one exam for a continuous period of at least one year (non-compliance with the study activity requirements). Periods during which the students have not been participating actively in studies due to leave of absence, maternity or paternity leave, adoption of a child, verified illness or military service do not count against the period of 12 months required for participating actively in studies. On request, the students must provide documentation of such matters. The study programme may grant exemption from these stipulations in exceptional circumstances. The application for exemption should be submitted to the programme director. Students will be informed in writing before their student registration is terminated. In connection with such notification, students will be made aware of the above rules. In the letter, students must be informed that they will have 14 days to submit documentary evidence to prove that periods in which they were not participating should not count as non-compliance with the study activity requirements. Furthermore, students will be notified of the deadline for making an appeal for exemption. If the student has not responded within the fixed deadline, his/her registration as a student will be terminated.

26. Language

The teaching materials are in English, and the primary part of the les- sons are taught in

English.

The students' English skills must meet the requirements of the Admission Order. Students

are not required to have any knowledge of foreign languages other than that stated in the

the Admission Order.

27. Examination language

Exams must be conducted in understandable English with the possibility of Danish in the

elective study components.

Students whose mother tongue is not Danish/English may apply for an exemption from the

requirement that spelling and writing skills form part of the assessment criteria for the pro-

fessional bachelor's degree project or the academy profession degree project as well as ex-

ams in which such skills are stated in this curriculum to be part of the assessment criteria.

The application must be submitted to the programme not later than four weeks before the

exam is to take place.

28. Illness resit examinations and resit examinations

28.1 Illness resits

Students who were prevented from attending an exam owing to verified illness or other un-

foreseen reason will be able to resit the (illness resit) exam as soon as possible. If the exam

takes place in the final exam term, the students will have the opportunity to sit the exam in

that exam term or immediately after the term.

The illness resit exam may be identical to the next ordinary exam. It is the students' respon-

sibility to stay informed on when (illness) resit exams will be held.

Information about time and place for illness resits can be found on eCampus.

Illness must be verified by a medical certificate. The educational institution must receive the

medical certificate within three working days after the exam was held. Students who suffer

from acute illness during an exam must substantiate that they have been ill on the day in

question.

If illness is not verified according to the above rules, the students will be considered to have

made an exam attempt.

It is the students' responsibility to cover the expense of a medical certificate.

28.2 Resits

Where students have failed or not attended an exam, they are automatically registered for a

resit, as long as exam attempts remain. The resit may be identical to the next ordinary ex-

am.

It is the students' responsibility to stay informed about when resits will be held.

Information about time and place for illness resits can be found on eCampus.

The programme can grant exemption from continued registration when this is founded in

exceptional circumstances, including documented disability.

28.3 Study aids

Any rules governing restriction of the use of study aids will appear from the description of

the individual exam.

29. Special exam arrangements

Students may apply for special exam conditions if their medical condition or relevant specif-

ic disabilities qualify them to do so. The application must be submitted to the programme

not later than four weeks before the exam is to be held The application deadline may be ex-

tended in cases of sudden health-related problems. The application is to be accompanied by

a medical certificate; a statement from e.g. a speech, hearing, dyslexia or blind institute or

other evidence of health conditions or a relevant specific disability.

If the examination language is Danish

Students whose mother tongue is not Danish may apply for permission to bring dictionaries

to exams where usually no study aids are permitted.

[If the examination language is English]

Students whose mother tongue is not English may apply for permission to bring dictionaries

to exams.

Applications for permission to bring study aids must be submitted to the programme not

later than four weeks before the exam is to be held.

30. Academic misconduct at exams

When handing in a written exam assignment, the student must confirm by signature that the assignment was prepared without undue help.

Use of your own work and the work of others – plagiarism

Academic misconduct at exams in the form of plagiarism are instances where a written assignment, in full or in part, appears to have been made by the student or students themselves, even though the assignment

• includes identical or near-identical wording of other people's statements or works

where the text is not marked by quotation marks, italics, indentation or any other clear

indication with a reference to the source; see the institution's written work

requirements;

• includes substantial sections of text that are so similar to another work in wording etc.

that on comparison it is clear that the sections could not have been written without

the use of the other work;

• includes the use of the words or ideas of others without giving due credit to the

sources; and/or

• reuses text and/or central ideas from their own previously assessed works without

observing the stipulations in sections 1 and 3.

Disciplinary actions in events of academic misconduct and disruptive behaviour during exam

An examinee who, undoubtedly

unduly obtains help, or

helps another student do an assignment, or

uses non-authorised aids and an examinee who

behaves in a disruptive manner at an exam may be expelled from the exam room while the exam is taking place by the programme director, a person authorised by the director, or jointly by the assessors. In such cases, the justification of the expulsion from the exam room will be assessed in connection with the subsequent decision on the sanctions to be imposed. In cases of less serious disturbing behaviour, the students will first be given a warning.

Suspected academic misconduct at exams including plagiarism, during and after the exam

If, during or after an exam, a student is suspected of

having obtained or provided undue help,

passing off another person's work as their own (plagiarism), or

having used their own previously assessed work or parts of it without reference (plagiarism),

this will be reported to the relevant programme.

The process of identifying academic misconduct, including plagiarism

Suspension of the exam

If the reported misconduct regards plagiarism in a written assignment that is to make up the basis of assessment for a subsequent oral exam, the programme director will suspend the exam if the matter cannot be settled before the fixed examination date.

Form and contents of a report of misconduct

Misconduct must be reported without undue delay. The report must include a written presentation of the case with information to identify the reported persons, as well as a brief account of the matter and the existing evidence. Previous incidents of academic misconduct by one or more of the reported students must be stated explicitly. When plagiarism is reported, the plagiarised sections must be clearly indicated and a reference to their sources stated. The copied text must also be indicated in the source text.

Involving the students – hearing of the parties

The programme director decides whether the hearing of the students will be oral, made in writing or a combination.

For an oral hearing, the examinee will be summoned for a discussion to clarify the case where they will be presented with the documentation of the suspected academic misconduct and where they will be able to state their point of view. The examinee may bring a companion. For a written hearing, the documentation of suspected academic misconduct will be sent to the students requesting them to state their point of view in writing.

Sanctions against academic misconduct and disruptive behaviour during exams

If the suspected misconduct is confirmed after the matter has been investigated, and if the misconduct has had or may be having an influence on the assessment of the examinee's performance, the programme director will suspend the examinee from the exam. In less serious cases, the examinee will first be given a warning. In aggravating circumstances, the programme director may suspend the examinee for a period of time. In such cases, the student will receive a written warning that repeated instances of academic misconduct may lead to expulsion. A period of suspension means that any grades awarded for the exam in question will be annulled, and that the examinee will be considered to have made an examination attempt. The examinee will not be allowed to resit the exam and will have to wait until the next ordinary exam in that particular programme is offered. In cases of aggravating circumstances, the programme director may decide to suspend the examinee from the institution for a period of time. In such cases, the student will receive a written warning that repeated instances of academic misconduct may lead to expulsion. The student cannot attend lectures or exams while suspended.

Complaints

The decision that a student is suspended and has used an exam attempt is final and cannot be brought before a higher administrative authority. Complaints on the grounds of legal matters (e.g. legal incapacity, the hearing procedure, guidelines on making complaints, correct interpretation of the Exam Order, etc.) may be brought before the Danish Agency for Higher Education. The complaint must be brought before the institution and directed to the attention of the relevant programme director who will make a statement. The complainant will have the opportunity to comment on the statement, the deadline being usually one week. The institution will submit the complaint, the statement and any comments made by the complainant to the Danish Agency for Higher Education. The deadline for complaints made to the institution is two weeks from the day the complainant was notified of the decision, cf. section 51 of the Exam Order.

31. Complaints about exams and appeals against decisions

31.1 Complaints about exams

Students are recommended to seek guidance from the student counsellors in connection

with the complaints procedure and writing a complaint.

The rules of complaints about exams can be found in section 10 of the Exam Order.

The Exam Order divides complaints into

1. complaints about the examination basis etc., the course of the exam and/or the assess-

ment; and

2. complaints about legal matters.

The two kinds of complaints are dealt with differently.

31.1.1 Complaints about the examination basis etc., the course of the exam and the assessment

Within two weeks after the assessment of the exam has been announced in the usual way,

an examinee may submit a written, substantiated complaint about

1. the exam basis including the exam questions, assignments etc. and its connection with

the purpose and requirements of the programme;

2. the examination procedure; and

3. the assessment.

The complaint may concern any exam, including written exams, oral exams and combina-

tions hereof, as well as practical or clinical exams.

The complaint is to be submitted to the programme director.

The complaint will immediately be brought before the original assessors, i.e. the examiner

and the external examiner from the exam in question. The statement made by the assessors

must be usable as the basis of the institution's decision on academic/professional matters.

The institution will usually give the assessors a deadline of two weeks to make their state-

ments.

Immediately after the statements are made available, the complainant will be given the op-

portunity to comment on them within, usually, one week.

The decision will be made by the institution based on the academic/professional statements

made by the assessors and any comments made by the complainant.

The decision must be made in writing and be substantiated. It may regard

1. an offer of a new assessment (re-assessment) – this only applies to written examina-

tions;

2. an offer of a new examination (resit); or

3. a dismissal of the complaint.

If it is decided to offer a re-assessment or a resit exam, the programme director will appoint

new assessors. Re-assessment may only be offered for written exams where material exists

for assessment, as new assessors will not be able to (re-)assess an already held oral exam,

and as the notes of the original assessors are personal and cannot be passed on to others.

If the decision is to offer the students a re-assessment or resit exam, the complainant must

be notified that a re-assessment or a resit exam may result in a lower grade. The complain-

ant must accept the offer within two weeks of the announcement of the decision. Ac-

ceptance of an offer cannot be cancelled. If the complainant does not accept the offer with-

in the deadline, re-assessment or a resit exam will not be held.

Re-assessment or a resit exam must take place as soon as possible.

On re-assessment, the assessors must be presented with the case documents: The exam

paper, the students' assignment, the complaint, the statements made by the original asses-

sors with the comments made by the complainant, and the decision made by the institu-

tion.

The assessors will deliver the result of the re-assessment, including a written explanation

and their assessment. Resit exams and re-assessments may result in lower grades than the

initial grades.

If it is decided that a re-assessment or resit exam will be offered, the decision will apply to

all examinees who took the exam in question, if their assignment features the same defi-

ciency as the one being complained about.

The complaint must be submitted to the programme director not later than two weeks (14

calendar days) after the announcement of the assessment results of the exam in question. If

the deadline falls on a holiday, the deadline will be extended to expire on the first weekday

after that day.

In exceptional circumstances, the deadline may be disregarded.

32. Appeals

The appellant may bring the institution's decision on academic/professional matters before

an appeals board. The activities of the appeals board fall under the Danish Public Admin-

istration Act, including the stipulations on legal incapacity and the duty of confidentiality.

The appeal is to be submitted to the programme director.

The deadline for appeals is two weeks after the examinee has been notified of the decision.

The above requirements of complaints (being in writing, substantiated etc.) also apply to

appeals.

The appeals board is made up of two appointed external examiners who will be appointed

by the chairman of the external examiners, one examiner and a student within the same

field (from the study programme), both appointed by the programme director.

The appeals board will make a decision based on the material that formed the basis of the

institution's decision and the students' substantiated appeal.

The appeals board will process the appeal, and the decision may regard

1. an offer of a new assessment (re-assessment) made by new assessors – this only applies

to written examinations;

2. an offer of a new examination (resit) with new assessors; or

3. a dismissal of the complaint.

If the decision is to offer the students a re-assessment or resit exam, the appellant must be

notified that a re-assessment or a resit exam may result in a lower grade. The complainant

must accept the offer within two weeks of the announcement of the decision. Acceptance

of an offer cannot be cancelled.

If the appellant does not accept the offer within the deadline, re-assessment or a resit exam

will not be held.

Re-assessment or a resit exam must take place as soon as possible.

On re-assessment, the assessors must be presented with the case documents: The exam

paper, the students' assignment, the appeal, the statements made by the original assessors

with the comments made by the appellant, and the decision made by the institution.

The appeals board must have made a decision not later than two months – three months

for summer exams – after the appeal was made.

The decision of the appeals board is final, meaning that the case cannot be brought before a

higher administrative authority regarding the parts of the appeal that concern academ-

ic/professional elements.

32.1 Complaints about legal matters

Complaints about legal matters in decisions made by the assessors in connection with re-

assessment or resit exams or the appeals board's decisions may be brought before Universi-

ty College of Northern Denmark within two weeks of the day the complainant was notified

of the decision.

Complaints about legal matters in decisions made by the institution according to the stipula-

tions of the Exam Order (e.g. legal incapacity, the hearing procedure, correct interpretation

of the Exam Order, etc.) may be submitted to the institution, which will make a statement

on which the complainant must be able to comment, the deadline being usually one week.

The institution will submit the complaint, the statement and any comments made by the

complainant to the Danish Agency for Higher Education. The institution will submit the

complaint, the statement and any comments made by the student to the Agency. The dead-

line for lodging complaints with the institution is two weeks (14 calendar days) from the day

the complainant was notified of the decision.

33. Exemption

The institutions may grant exemption from these rules in this national section of the curricu-

lum that are laid down solely by the institutions, when found substantiated in exceptional

circumstances. The institutions cooperate on a uniform exemption practice.

34. Effective date and transition provisions

This institutional section of the curriculum enters into force on 1. September 2015 with

effect for all students who are and will be registered in the programme and for all

exams commenced on said date or thereafter.

The national section of this Curriculum of September 2014 is revoked with effect from 31

August 2015. However, exams started before 1. September 2015 will be carried out accord-

ing to the national section of this Curriculum not later than 31. August 2016.
