Tuition
Specific requirements
30 credits completed courses within production and process development, including knowledge in maintenance and dependability. This can be fulfilled e.g. through the courses, Industrial Production and Logistics and Lean Production. Further requirements is a completed course of 7.5 credits in Probability and statistics. In addition, Swedish B/Swedish 3 and English A/English 6 are required. For courses given entirely in English exemption is made from the requirement in Swedish B/Swedish 3.
Examination
Assignment (INL1) LCC-analysis, 1,5 credits, (examines learning outcome 1) marks Fail (U) or Pass (G)
Assignment (INL2), Data analysis, 1,5 credits, (examines learning outcome 3) marks Fail (U) or Pass (G)
Home examination (HEM1), 4,5 credits, (examines learning outcomes 2 and 4-8), marks Fail (U), 3, 4 or 5
A student who has a certificate from MDU regarding a disability has the opportunity to submit a request for supportive measures during written examinations or other forms of examination, in accordance with the Rules and Regulations for Examinations at First-cycle and Second-cycle Level at Mälardalen University (2020/1655). It is the examiner who takes decisions on any supportive measures, based on what kind of certificate is issued, and in that case which measures are to be applied.
Suspicions of attempting to deceive in examinations (cheating) are reported to the Vice-Chancellor, in accordance with the Higher Education Ordinance, and are examined by the University’s Disciplinary Board. If the Disciplinary Board considers the student to be guilty of a disciplinary offence, the Board will take a decision on disciplinary action, which will be a warning or suspension.
