Further information:

Oral examination

Passing the exam is conditional on passing both components: the individual assessment on the one hand, and the group project on the other. Failure in either component will result in a failing grade

 

Proficiency in the French language is one of the core competencies required for professional practice in speech and language therapy. In this regard, if the submitted file/assignment/report contains more than 5 spelling mistakes (spelling and/or agreement), it will result in a failing grade (5/20) in the first session and must be resubmitted in the second session. If the file/assignment/report submitted in the second session contains more than 5 spelling mistakes, 2 points will be deducted from the final course mark (/20).
