A written examination concluding a course will be conducted in the examination
period at the end of the course period in which the course to be examined was
taught.

Article 13 Capstone assignment
1. The Capstone assignment is an individually and independently written essay of
4500-5000 words (excluding any appendices) based on scientific articles that
conclude the Bachelor’s programmes Economics and Business Economics, Fiscal
Economics and International Business. Each coordinator announces at least four (4)
topics with four to six (scientific) references for each topic. For each study
programme the topics are published on EleUM. Topics are offered for each major
(IB/IBE) and elective (ES). A student can only do a Capstone assignment in a certain
field if she/he has at least done two (2) of the major courses in that field (IB/IBE), or
the cohesive elective (ES). If a student takes a Capstone assignment that is not
consistent with a major or elective, the consequence is that she/he will have to apply
for an Open programme(with the exception approved deviations from the Capstone
regulations within a MARBLE programme).
2. Capstone assignments are scheduled twice a year, i.e. in the skills training periods
three (3) and six (6), however Capstone assignments are floating, which means that
the Capstone assignment may be carried out during the semester and is not
restricted to the skills training period in which the Capstone assignment is
administratively scheduled. If students hand in their Capstone assignment before the
deadline, this does not mean that the results will be published prior to the deadline
for publishing the results.
3. Students must register for the Capstone assignment through My UM, and must
submit their Capstone assignment through Safe Assignment in EleUM as well as in a
hardcopy version. Students do not need to register for the first re-sit of a Capstone
assignment.
4. Coordinators will publish the results and give feedback through the feedback form
for Capstone assignments.
5. Students who fail their Capstone assignment at the first opportunity will be given
one more opportunity to pass the assignment. Students will receive feedback on
their first version at the latest on the date of the deadline for publishing the results
