Examination Board
The Research Master SCS has its own Examination Board.
Each educational programme has its own examination board. The examination board is responsible to ensure that students meet the final qualifications of the programme and it warrants the standard of courses and their examinations. Assessments of examinations is an important aspect of the examination board's procedures, including assessments of written exams, papers and the master thesis.
In sum:
- The examination board is responsible for safeguarding the quality of course examinations and the final examination.

- The examination board provides examiners with guidelines and directions with respect to the assessment of students who take course examinations and with respect to determining the results of course examinations. The results are determined by examiners in compliance with these regulations.
- The examination board is authorized, in the event of serious inequities, to deviate from the Education and Examination Regulations in individual cases to the benefit of the student.
