Students' knowledge is assessed by means of practical exercises and seminar papers, and also via products, projects, performances, services, etc. and by examinations. Examination performance is scored as follows: 10 (excellent); 9 (very good: above-average knowledge but with some mistakes); 8 (very good: solid results); 7 (good); 6 (adequate: knowledge satisfies minimum criteria); 5–1 (inadequate). In order to pass an examination, a candidate must achieve a grade between adequate (6) and excellent (10).

Students may enrol in the second year if by the end of the academic year they have completed course units defined by syllabuses for a total of at least 48 credits.
Students may enrol in the third year if by the end of the academic year they have completed second-year course units defined by syllabuses for a total of at least 48 credits and all first-year course units defined by syllabuses (60 credits).

Second-cycle master's study programmes (SQF level 8)
