Examinations in the courses have different forms. Examinations can be either oral or
written. However, most of the examinations in the law courses taught in English are oral.
For oral examinations it applies that:
Oral examinations are either with preparation for 20 twenty minutes, without preparation
or based on a short synopsis (five pages) submitted by the student.
The examinations are conducted in English.
Oral examinations last 15-20 minutes, and are the most common method of examining
the students at the Master Level. The oral examinations are public, but if you do not want
spectators (mostly other students), please say so in advance to the examiners. The exact
form of the examinations for every class can be found in the course descriptions (online
on http://sis.ku.dk/jur).
Withdrawal from an examination, written as well as oral, has to be made in writing at
least 7 days before the examination takes place.
The number of days scheduled for each oral exam can be found online in course
descriptions on http://sis.ku.dk/jur/. A detailed examination schedule is released
approximately mid-November for the oral exams in December and mid-April for the oral
exams in May. It is possible to inquire for a specific exam date, when notification of this
is given.
External examiner
An external examiner is an impartial person who is present during the oral examination in
order to assess and ensure a fair procedure. The external examiner sits beside the
examiner (lecturer) and takes notes. The external examiner usually does not ask questions
during the examination but is allowed to do so.
For written examinations it applies that:
Written examinations usually have the duration of four hours, but other variations exist.
The exact form of the examination for every course can be found in the course
descriptions.
At written examinations you are automatically registered for a computer based exam.
