Question: (Last edited: Friday, 26 August 2022, 9:16 PM)Oral Defence: Can students defend/present the Graduation Assignment/Final Project (GA/FP) online? | ||
---|---|---|
Answer: As all educational activities are now conducted as on-campus activities, we would like to highlight that students must be physically present on campus to defend the Graduation Assignment and Final Project (GA/FP) in addition to the presentations of In-company training and Work Placement modules. Wittenborg is an experiential institute. At Wittenborg, students sign up for a degree programme with lessons, projects and other educational activities delivered on-campus on a full-time basis. Therefore, all students are expected to be physically present and effectively participate in the classes in order to fulfil all study requirements. If you have to travel outside the Netherlands for any extended period for mitigating reasons (e.g. medical), please note that you must inform your Process Tutor, Academic Supervisor & the examination department (examresults@wittenborg.eu) at least one block in advance of your Graduation Assignment and Final Project modules. | ||
Question: (Last edited: Wednesday, 6 April 2022, 12:46 PM)Project Week: How many Project Weeks does Master's students have to complete and when can they attend? | ||
---|---|---|
Answer: Master's students are required to complete a total of three (3) Project Weeks (PW) in order to receive a pass in this module. The PW topic of blocks 1 & 5 are similar, while the PW topic of blocks 2 & 6 are similar and the PW topic of blocks 3 & 7 are similar. Students must ensure that the three PWs taken are not a duplicate of another. For example, once a student has a Pass for PW block 1, they can no longer take the PW in block 5 because the topic is similar. If taken, the mark will not be registered in Osiris. Only ONE PW can be taken per block. For example if students join the campus-wide Bachelor's PW like the Climate Change PW, students will not be allowed to join the Master's PW for that block. | ||

Question: (Last edited: Monday, 3 July 2023, 11:04 AM)What is MEEs? | ||
---|---|---|
Answer: Starting from the academic year 2022-2023, all
new students starting their programmes at Wittenborg will not only follow
normal assessments that lead to European Credits, but will also be required to
complete a Multidisciplinary (phase) Exit Exams (MEEs) at the
end of each learning phase. This means that for bachelor’s students, there will
be an MEE at the end of phase 1, phase 2 and phase 3. For Master’s students,
the MEE is at the end of semester 2. The MEEs are compulsory and must be
completed in order to graduate. Why MEE? The rationale of having the MEE is to monitor and evaluate the progress of WUAS students from a more comprehensive and in-depth perspective. This new assessment will enable students to better evaluate their educational progress as well as the development of competencies required to become business administrators and managers. A good performance will make graduates stand out in the eyes of employers. It is an assessment that students must pass to complete a course and be promoted to the next phase. It is a way to maintain graduation standards, assurance of learning and quality of retained knowledge and skills. This exam is important as it can ensure that WUAS students meet educational standards. In return, it can also influence educational policy at WUAS | ||
