The course evaluation is made by a continuous assessment (at least one intermediate examination per subject and semester) on projects, oral presentations, and final examinations. The exact modalities differ per course, but the emphasis is as much as possible put on continuous knowledge control, in addition to final examinations or project defenses. A student who does not pass a course will be allowed to continue his studies and to redo that examination later in one of the two annual exam sessions. In accordance with the rules of the Internal Regulations of the University, a student will have the opportunity to re-register at the University beyond 2 years to re-pass non-validated exams without additional cost. However, note that the maximal study length of 3 years may not be exceeded.
