I took "Mathematical Methods" as an elective module in the Bachelor's programme. Do I have to take another exam from this module in the Master's programme?

"Mathematical Methods" can be chosen in different modules. In the Master's programme you have to take an exam from "Mathematical Methods" in any case, even if you have already taken another course from "Mathematical Methods" with an exam in the Bachelor's programme.

Additional courses

What has to be considered when choosing additional subjects/services in the Bachelor's and Master's programme?

Additional achievements must be registered as such for examination at the Student Service (HIS-POS administered students) or at the Examination Office (CAMPUS administered students). The additional achievements are included in the Transcript of Records, but the grades are not included in the calculation of the overall Bachelor grade.

Can additional credits earned in the Bachelor's program be recognized later in the Master's program?

Yes, if they correspond to the subjects of the curriculum. Recognition must take place within one semester after enrolment.

How can I have additional credits from the Bachelor's programme recognised in the Master's programme?

For each subject that is to be transferred, a form must be filled out and submitted to the Examination Office. Recognition only takes place after enrolment in the Master's programme.

Bachelor's/Master's thesis

Can the Bachelor's thesis be supervised by the same institute as the Master 's thesis?

Yes. The Bachelor's and Master's degree programmes are two separate programmes.

How is the Bachelor's/Master's thesis registered?

 

Students administered in HIS-POS: The form for registering the Bachelor's thesis or Master' s thesis is completed as described on the information sheet and submitted to Student Services. The resulting "green slip" is handed in to the supervising institute.

 

Students administered in CAMPUS: The Bachelor's/Master's thesis is created in CAMPUS by the supervising institute and registered there by the student.
