Written examination results
Examination results from written exams in December are usually released at the end of
January and examination results from written exams in May are usually released at the
end of June.
Student Card
Upon arrival in Copenhagen a student card is issued for each and every student and
serves as your personal ID within the university. It is very important that you bring along
the student card at all times and especially to every examination, oral as well as written.
What to bring to the examination
In general students are allowed to bring all kinds of printed facilities for the examination,
including required reading, supplementary class material and other literature, code of
statutes, law reports and an USB-stick with your notes.
Alternatively you are allowed to bring your own hand- or typewritten notes, copies of
surveys when collected in samples or placed in ring binders.
However, cell phones are not allowed at the examinations.
At the examinations it will be checked that only material allowed is brought along, thus,
if material not allowed is revealed after initiating the exam, the student will be dismissed.
Required reading (“Pensum”)
In Denmark the general rule is that, for exam purposes, students are only responsible for
the officially designated Required Reading ("Pensum"). This means that students who
understand (and can apply) the Required Reading content should be able to answer all
exam questions on that basis.
Students can, of course, learn and understand more about a given course subject by also
reading other sources, but students should be familiar with the course Required Reading,
because that material sets the "official" boundries for possible exam questions in that
course.
Rules for sound recordings at exams
The new executive examination order stipulates in regulation 21 that a student may take
sound recordings of his or her own oral examination. This rule is effective as from the
winter examination 2004/2005 meaning that students are allowed to take sound
recordings of their own oral examinations.
The Staff-Student Study Committee has issued the following rules for sound recordings:
1. If a student chooses to record an oral examination, the student must inform the
examiner and the external examiner in the exam room before the examination
starts.
