2 2 Introduction In order to successfully complete the MRC, students are required to obtain a total of 120 Credit Points which are allocated as follows: 1. Four Foundation Modules ( each) 2. Four Elective Modules ( each) 3. A Core Module (14 Credit Points) 4. An Internship Module () 5. An Exposé in preparation for the Master thesis (4 Credit Points) 6. Master Thesis (30 Credit Points) Before students can begin their Master thesis all Modules have to be completed. Credit Points: A certain amount of Credit Points are allocated to each Module. One credit point at the HUB is equivalent to 30 hours of work. Credit points can be earned through the preparation of and participation in weekly lectures/classes, writing term papers or essays, delivering in class presentations, completing an internship, submitting an exposé for the Master s thesis, completing the Master thesis itself, and completing oral and written examinations. The Foundation, Elective and Core Modules: The four Foundation and Elective Modules are comprised of two different types of courses (cf. SWS below). Each Foundation and Elective Module requires the student to submit a five page essay or to deliver a presentation in class (+ handout) to accompany one of the chosen courses. The Foundation Module has to be completed in advance of the related Elective Module. The Core Module consists of three courses and requires the students to submit a term paper (25 pages). The Foundation, Elective and Core Modules all conclude with an oral or written examination. Examination: The exam at the end of the Module is intended to encompass the whole Module. While students are permitted to choose the subject area they would like to be examined in (related to one of the courses they have attended within the Module), they must also be able to demonstrate the relevance of their specific knowledge to both courses taken within the same Module and highlight the relationships between different topics or subject areas (and hence show how the two courses are related within the umbrella of the Module as a whole). There are two types of examination: a twenty minute oral exam or a three hour written exam. Each Module specifies the type of exam which must be taken to complete the module.
3 3 Different types of courses: There are four different kind of courses offered at the HUB. These courses are also weighted differently: Lecture (VL): Only given by Professors. A VL gives an overview of certain topics. Students mostly participate passively (listening, taking notes, asking questions in class, private study of the lecture material). In a lecture the professor imparts knowledge. Discussion is only encouraged to clarify an issue the student may not have understood from the Professor s lecture. Undergraduate Seminar (PS): Introductory course, aimed at BA students in the early stages of their degree. Graduate Seminar (SE): Deals with more advanced subjects, aimed at students who already have a BA (or equivalent) qualification. Requires the active participation of the students. Knowledge of field specific academic methods or theories is assumed. Classes (): Students practice applying academic methods or skills while investigating certain topics. SWS: SWS is the abbreviation for hours per week during the lecture period. Most courses are held once a week during the lecture period and have a duration of 2 hours (active learning time however is only 90 minutes). The expression 2 SWS means: 2 hours a week. Some lectures are held twice a week and therefore count for 4 SWS. The academic year/ Semesters: The academic year begins in October. It is divided into two semesters: a) the Winter Semester from October until the end of March and b) the Summer Semester from April until the end of September. The lecture period for the Winter Semester is from mid October until mid February, and for the Summer Semester from mid April to mid July. Both before and after each lecture period is an examination period, where most Module related exams are conducted.
