FRAMEWORK FOR ASSESSING THE COMPETENCE OF BACHELOR STUDENTS The assessment framework includes two requirement levels, Level I and Level II. The requirement level of a module/study unit/project is determined before its implementation begins. Within the requirement levels of the assessment framework, the required competence is described for levels H/1 (H=’pass’), 3 and 5. The competence acquired by students is assessed comprehensively. For good competence (3), it is required to also meet the criteria for satisfactory competence. Similarly, for excellent competence (5), the assessment criteria for satisfactory and good competence must also be met. If the criteria for good competence are not fully met but all the criteria for a satisfactory level are met, the grade will be 2. Similarly, the student’s grade will be 4 if the competence level is good but still not excellent in all respects.
