Performance assessment
Credit points are awarded for successfully completed learning units. Legally binding information on performance monitoring is available for each course unit in the Course Catalogue.
Examinations and credit points
The student's academic performance is recorded in credit points (CP). In order to obtain credit points, a service is required which consists of either an examination of the subject, active participation (excursion) or the submission of written reports or exercises. Credit points are only awarded for a sufficient performance.
Examination blocks
The basic examination after the first year of study as well as examination blocks after the third semester are organised as session examinations and each is considered a block examination. For block tests, the average grade of the individually weighted tests must be at least 4.0. Details of the performance review are listed in the course catalogue for each course unit.
Semester assessments or end of semester examinations
Further performance assessments are graded or ungraded semester assessments or final examinations. During these semester assessments, the lecturers inform the students at the beginning of the course about the form of performance monitoring (e. g. examination material, examination mode, duration, language). Semester-end examinations usually take place during the last two weeks of the semester or during the first two weeks of the semester break. Registrations and deregistrations run via the Examinations Office.
