The Master's Degree Programme in Assessment, Measurement and Evaluation has a scope of 120 credits and is a full time 2 year study (4 semesters). The Master's Thesis is an independent work conducted in the third and forth semester of the Master's Programme. If you need to apply for leave of absence or a postponement of the submission the below regulations apply.
Leave on the basis of documented needs
If you need to apply for leave of absence on the grounds of long-term illness (yourself or someone in your care) or because you have other documented needs the ordinary regulations apply.
General leave without attaching documentation
You can not apply for general leave on no particular grounds for the fourth semester of the Master's Programme. The below regulationa apply.
Delay
If you are delayed with the Master's Thesis and you are not able to submit by the stipulated deadline you may apply for postponing the submission until the following semester.
When applying for an extension, you need to make a progress plan along with your supervisor which shows how far the work with the thesis has come and how much work is left. You also need to specify when drafts are due and how many more supervision meetings are planned. The supervisor has to approve the progress plan in order for the application to be granted.
The deadlines for applying for a postponement are the same as the deadline for withdrawing from the exam. You may find the deadline for withdrawing from the exam on the semester page.
If your supervisor is not able to continue the supervision the following semester, it must specified in your application. In such cases Centre for Educational Measurement will consider the further supervision.
Should you need to postpone the submission an additional semester you may apply for this in the same manner as you did the first time. In cases of a second application for postponement you must in the work schedule show that you have had some progress with your thesis the last semester.
