Technical requirements

What equipment and other minimum technical requirements are needed to take my digital oral exam or digital Master's thesis defense?

Computer

  • It is recommended to use a laptop or stationary PC with Windows/MacOS operating system, either with a built-in webcamera or a webcamera connected with USB. A tablet or mobile phone can be used if necessary, but only as a backup in case there are problems with your laptop/PC.
  • Update your computer a day or two before the exam to avoid an automatic update to your computer while you are taking your exam.

Audio equipment

  • We recommend you use a headset with a microphone, or Airpods or earbuds, in order to reduce background noise. You do not need an advanced or expensive headset, plain earbuds with a microphone are sufficient.
  • It is also possible to use your computer's built-in speakers, but the audio quality will be somewhat reduced because of acoustics and noise from the computer and your surroundings.

Camera

  • You need a built-in webcamera or a webcamera connected with USB.

Internet
