In order to take an exam, you must sign up in advance. The registration period starts 30–14 days before the examination. It is not possible to sign up less than 14 days in advance. Do not forget to check the examination dates.

You will receive information concerning the location by email a few days before the exam. If you did not receive an email, contact tentamen@bth.se

No. You have to be registered for the course to be able to sign up to examination. It is therefore important that you are aware of which courses you are registered for. A list of your registered courses is available in the Ladok for Students.

You can view prescheduled dates for examinations on campus. The time is determined 10 days prior to the examination and rooms are announced a few days before the examination.

Signing up for an examination in advance is obligatory. The sign-up period begins 30 days before the examination and ends 14 days prior to the examination date.

It is important to arrive at the examination on time. The doors close 5 minutes before the examination starts for a short information briefing. The next opportunity to enter begins 45 minutes after the examination starts. You cannot participate in the examination if you arrive later than 60 minutes after the start time.

Unauthorised aids, such as telephones, calculators or personal notes are not permitted during the examination. There should be silence and order during the examination.

In special cases, especially in the case of distance learning, students may be allowed to take exams at another location. In such cases, the following rules apply:

  1. It is only permitted to take exams at other universities in Sweden, learning centres connected to the Nitus network, foreign partner universities of BTH, and Swedish authorities abroad.
  2. It is the responsibility of each student to contact the university/institution, learning centre or Swedish authority where he/she wishes to take the examination. This should be done before signing up for an exam at another location (see no. 4).
  3. The student pays any costs relating to the examination. BTH will not act as an intermediary in these circumstances
  4. A request to take an examination at another location should be made no later than two weeks before the date of the examination.
  5. A time difference of up to one hour, in comparison to the set starting time of the examination at BTH, will be allowed. If the examination starts earlier at the other location, the examinee is not allowed to leave the examination room earlier than one hour after the original starting time of the examination at BTH.
