Evaluation and Timing

The WOP-P Master stimulates “learning-by-doing” to assure an optimal learning performance. Teachers use case studies, challenging situations or exercises, and problems that are close to real-life at an organization (e.g., design of a psychosocial risks analysis in an organization). Evaluation is based on the results of these activities, although in some cases examinations will also be necessary. Students will have two opportunities to pass, included in the fees and participation costs. If they do not pass in either the first or the second call, they will have to cover the registration fees again in the event that the Coordinating Institution of the Master decides that the student can continue in the Program.

Although definitive dates will be communicated before starting the academic year, these are approximate dates:

• Beginning of 1^st semester: September 14 – September 30
• Beginning of 2^nd semester: February 15 – March 10
• Results of 1^st semester (although students receive partial marks and feedback gradually): March 15 – March 30
• Results of 2^nd semester (although students receive partial marks and feedback gradually): July 10 – July 30
• Results of the second call (although students receive partial marks and feedback gradually): September 5 – September 20
• Winter School (Joint Intensive Learning Unit; in-residence activity): February 10 – March 10
• Delivery of the Position Paper (year 1): April 15 – April 30
