• Portfolio Exams

  Portfolios are collections of one's own work, which are compiled within a certain processing time according to defined criteria in order to document learning progress and performance levels (§96 Para. 5 ZSP-HU).

  The portfolio examination consists of several, but at least two examination elements. Important: This is a uniform module examination, i.e. the individual examination elements must be compensable against each other. There may not be a single examination element that must be "passed".

  As a rule, points are awarded for each individual examination element according to the degree of fulfilment of the respective examination element. The total number of points achieved from all examination elements is converted into a grade by means of a point system to be determined. A portfolio examination is deemed to have been passed with an overall grade of 4.0 or higher, and failed with a grade of 4.1 or higher. Withdrawal from a portfolio examination is possible up to the time the first assessment-relevant performance is produced; as a rule, this is also the end of the registration period.

  Reasons for withdrawal or failure to attend must be asserted and proven to the Examination Board immediately after their occurence, at the latest within 3 working days after the date for the respective examination element.

  In this case, examination elements that have already been completed will continue to be taken into account, provided that they are still comparable at the time of resumption. If, at the time of resumption, portfolio elements that have already been completed are no longer included or if the form of examination has been changed, the examination must be completed in full in accordance with the regulations then in force.
