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). 

For candidates taking the programme as a full-time course consisting of the basic 60 credits, there are no conditions for progression (course lasts one year). For candidates taking the programme as a part-time course, conditions for progression are determined by taking into account the overall requirements (all envisaged credits) defined for an individual year of study (a minimum of 30 and a maximum of 45 ECTS credits).
