Students are assessed by a variety of different methods: essays, case analyses, examinations, group projects, presentations, internship reports, and class participation. Emphasis is placed upon the practical application of knowledge and skills, rather than on the regurgitation of theory. Students have to accumulate 18 credits, with each credit roughly equivalent to 30 hours of class input time.
