Final Examination Requirements

The aim of the final examination is to assess whether the candidate has acquired, and is able to apply the knowledge, skills, and competences required for the Master’s (MA) degree.

The final examination is conducted before an academic committee, and the student is assessed on a scale of 1 to 5. The candidate must demonstrate a sound knowledge and solid understanding of the relevant fields (Dutch literature, history, culture, and linguistics), and must articulate this knowledge in high-quality Dutch.

The final examination consists of two components:

1. Thesis Presentation (Thesis Defence)

The candidate presents the main questions, methodology and findings of their thesis using a digital presentation tool such as PowerPoint or Prezi. As part of the presentation the candidate must also address the comments and questions raised in the referee’s report.

The presentation must not exceed 15 minutes in duration.

The committee assesses whether the thesis represents the candidate’s own independent work, and whether the candidate is able to effectively communicate and reflect on their main findings. The presentation thus serves not only as a summary of the thesis but also as evidence of authorship and academic competence. The presentation is evaluated according to 5 criteria: content, structure, language use, presentation technique and response to the referee’s report.

2. Subject-Specific Examination (Main Subject Examination)

The candidate demonstrates their academic knowledge in the disciplinary area of their thesis (i.e. literature or linguistics).

The examination topics comprise 10 topics* in linguistics and 10 in literature.

The final grade for the final examination is the arithmetic average of the two marks awarded (thesis defence, and subject-specific examination). If the candidate fails either component, the relevant regulations of the Academic Regulations for Students (HKR) shall apply.

*Final Examination Topics: Find the list HERE.

LOGIC AND PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE* MA

*From 2017: Logic and Theory of Science, from 2022: Logic and Philosophy of Science Previously, the program was called Logic and Theory of Science. Following the name change, it is now called: Logic and Philosophy Science. Therefore, students are no longer accepted under the previous program name. Excerpt of the requirements:

Logic and Philosophy of Science MA (valid for students admitted in 2017 and thereinafter)_excerpt

Study Programme: Logic and Philosophy of Science (language of instruction: English) Level of education (BA/MA): MA Valid for students admitted in: 2017 and thereafter (from 2017: Logic and Theory of Science, from 2022: Logic and Philosophy of Science) (Previously, the program was called Logic and Theory of Science. Following the name change, it is now called: Logic and Philosophy Science. Therefore, students are no longer accepted under the previous program name.)

Components of the Final Examination:

The final examination for the program is in an oral format. The central part of the exam is (first component) the defense of the thesis based on questions, comments in the written review as well as by members of the defense committee. Students have to demonstrate that they have acquired the core knowledge set out in the training requirements and the curriculum, and are able to explain their theses orally in nuanced and precise terms. Beyond the defense of the thesis, the final examination has a second and third component: the examination covers two previously designated topics for which the student has completed a lecture-format course (marked „K” in the study list). Students are asked thematic questions to determine their level of comprehensive proficiency in these two topics.

The components are therefore:

1. The oral defense of the thesis

2. Selected questions covering the first previously designated topic (first thematic question)

3. Selected questions covering the second previously designated topic (second thematic question)

Grades given/received at the Final Examination:

Evaluation is on a five-grade scale. The examiners assess students’ proficiency in the fields related to the topic of the thesis, as well as the students’ level of professional preparation and ability to participate in scholarly discourse. Three grades are given for the three components of the final examination:

1. A grade for the oral defense of the thesis (B)

2. A grade for the first thematic question (C)

3. A grade for the second thematic question (D)

Overall result (final grade) of the Final Examination:

In the grade received for the final examination (“result” of the final examination), the grade for the oral defense (B) counts 50 %, while the grades for the topics (C and D) count 25-25 %. That is, the final exam grade is the average of these two: B and (C+D)/2. Meanwhile, the defense carries more weight when rounding. This is illustrated with two examples. If the oral defense grade (B) is 5 and the grades for the two thematic questions (C and D) yield an average of 4, then the result of the final examination is 5. By contrast, if the oral defense grade (B) is 4 and the grades for the two thematic questions (C and D) are both 5, yielding an average of 5, then the result of the final examination is 4.

Classification of the Diploma:

The numerical value for the diploma -- diploma “assessment”// minősítés) is the average of the following three numbers:

1. The grade determined by the reviewer for the thesis in the written review (A)

2. The oral defense grade from the final examination (B)

3. The average of the grades for the thematic questions in the final examination (C and D).

That is, the number value for the diploma is calculated as follows: (A + B + ((C + D)/2))/3

(For example, if the grade determined by the reviewer for the thesis in the written review (A) is a 4, the oral defense grade from the final examination (B) is a 5, and the grades for the thematic questions in the final examination (C and D) are 4 and 5, then the classification of the diploma is calculated as follows: (4+5+(4+5)/2) / 3 = (4+5+9/2) / 3 = (4+5+4,5) / 3 = 13,5/3 = 4,5 which means that the classification of the diploma is „excellent”, since 4,5 is rounded to excellent (5).)

Determining the Diploma grade:

As specified in Section 84. (6) of HKR, the diploma is classified according to its average down to two decimals:

− outstanding (5), if the average is 4.80–5.00,

− excellent (5), if the average is 4.50–4.79,

− good (4), if the average is 3.50–4.49,

− satisfactory (3), if the average is 2.50–3.49,

− pass (2), if the average is 2.00–2. 49.
