The Dean of the Faculty ITC has installed an Examination Board on 2 February 2011.
Task of Examination Board
The Examination Board has to decide in an objective and professional manner whether a student has achieved all knowledge, skills and attitudes, as defined in the EER (Education and Examination Regulations) for awarding of a degree, diploma or certificate of a specific course. Therefore, the Examination Board monitors and is involved in all aspects of assessment from policy on assessment via appointment of assessors to the decision about complaints related to assessment.
