By successfully completing examinations in the individual modules of a degree programme, bachelor’s and master’s degree students gain credit points, which are required to complete the degree. Here you can find out more about what these terms mean and about how examinations in state examination degree programmes are regulated.

The examination regulations specify the examination guidelines of the degree programme. Here you can find important information about the different types of examinations, about the consequences of cheating or of missing an examination due to illness, and about the requirements for participating in an examination. Select the relevant degree programme from your faculty’s legal collection to find the examination regulations.

Module catalogues describe the structure and content of a degree programme. A module catalogue is published for each semester and provides information about the individual courses offered in each module. Please consult it when selecting your courses. It also includes information about the types of examinations held for individual courses.
