Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.
The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
The student’s presence should correspond to at least 75 % of the seminars given during two academic years. The student should make at least four presentations of her or his own papers. Furthermore, the student should be well-prepared at the seminars and contribute to the seminars with comments on the papers presented.
If a student cannot fulfil the participation requirements for instance due to geographical distance, then the course requirements can be partly or completely fulfilled through participation in corresponding seminars elsewhere. As a last resort when this is not either possible, course requirements can in part be fulfilled through other assignments providing the corresponding amount of training the methodology of risk and safety studies.
