Självständig litteratursökning och studier inom ämnesområdet förutsätts. Examinator och/eller handledare can föreslå lämplig litteratur.

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

• XUPP - Examination Question, 30.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

The degree project should be presented in written report and presented at a seminar. Much care should be taken to how the report is formed, especially with consideration to language. The degree project can be written and presented in Swedish or English. A summary should be written in both languages.
