InSL is responsible for general questions regarding the organisation of studies and regular enquiries from students of our faculty. From our central contact point, students are referred to the right contact person, e.g. the examination board, if necessary with a concrete appointment. For all international questions you can still contact ISIM directly. You can find out more in our section Tasks.

For questions specific to the course of studies in materials science and materials engineering, students may contact the Student Advisory Service MatWerk. Students of the interdepartmental study program Mechatronics and Information Technology may contact the study program service Bachelor MIT and the study program service Master MIT for program-specific questions.

The examination boards of the respective degree programs are responsible for applications in special cases, such as deadline extensions or hardship applications. Examination boards

Yes, recognition is possible. To do so, you need an application for recognition of an examination or course achievement. Recognition must take place within one semester after enrolment.

A form for recognition must be filled out and submitted to the examination board.

"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 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.
