Examination Regulations (PDF)
Binding legal framework.
Das Studium ist in Module strukturiert, die sich aus Lehrveranstaltungen und Prüfungen zusammensetzen. Die verbindliche Zusammensetzung legt die Prüfungsordnung fest. Detaillierte inhaltliche Beschreibungen finden Sie im Modulhandbuch des Studiengangs.
Der Stellenwert der Module in der Endnote wird durch Leistungspunkte (LP) ausgedrückt. Ein Leistungspunkt entspricht einer Arbeitsleistung von etwa 30 Stunden (Kontaktzeit und Selbststudium).
Die dominierenden Lehrveranstaltungsformen sind Vorlesung (VL) und Übung (Ü). Dazu kommen bspw. Seminar (S), Projektseminar (PS) und Kolloquium (Ko).
Module schließen in der Regel mit einer Prüfung in Form einer Klausur oder E-Klausur zu Beginn der vorlesungsfreien Zeit ab. Wiederholungstermine werden am Ende der vorlesungsfreien Zeit des gleichen Semester angeboten, d.h. vor Beginn des nächsten Semesters.
Pflichtmodule müssen bestanden werden. Bei Wahlpflichtmodulen gibt es eine größere Auswahl, aus der eine bestimmte Mindest- und Höchstanzahl an Angeboten innerhalb eines Bereichs zu belegen ist. Gewählte Wahlpflichtmodule müssen bestanden werden, jedoch können Studierende zweimal ein nicht-bestandenes Wahlpflichtmodul durch ein anderes ersetzen (aka „Joker“).
