Students must fulfill the requirements of the study regulations of their master\u2019s propram in order to attain the master\u2019s degree.<\/p>\n The examination and study regulations can be found here:<\/p>\n Examination Office<\/a><\/p>\n [\/CustomToggleSlug][CustomToggleSlug heading=”What do the performance assessments look like?” open=”et_pb_toggle_close” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Performance assessments are part of each course. They can take various forms. For example, they can be based on oral or written exams, or project work. Details can be found in the examination regulations. If the performance checks are passed, the student acquires the CP corresponding to the course. The result of each graded exam is therefore reflected in a student\u2019s final grade.<\/p>\n [\/CustomToggleSlug][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ specialty=”on” admin_label=”Pr\u00fcfungen, Credit Points und anrechenbare Leistungen” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_4″ specialty_columns=”3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_row_inner _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column_inner saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][CustomToggleSlug heading=”What are credit points?” open=”et_pb_toggle_close” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Credit points (CP), which can be obtained through a lecture, indicate the lecture\u2019s workload. A credit point corresponds to 30 hours\u2019 study effort. For example, a core lecture with 9 CP has an average workload of 270 hours.<\/p>\n [\/CustomToggleSlug][CustomToggleSlug heading=”Can I count my tutorial activites toward my studies?” open=”et_pb_toggle_close” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n For the supervision of a tutorial group as a tutor (\u201cBremser\u201d), four non-graded CPs are given. If several groups for different courses are supervised, it is possible to obtain these points multiple times.<\/p>\n [\/CustomToggleSlug][CustomToggleSlug heading=”How many credits do I have to earn per semester?” open=”et_pb_toggle_close” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n In general, 30 CP should be earned per semester. The minimum requirements are 9 CP after one semester, 30 CP after two semesters, 60 CP after four semesters, and 90 after six semesters. If a student fails to meet these minimum requirements, he or she is informed in writing that the achievement of the study objective is at risk, and is also offered a consultation. If a student does not meet the minimum requirements for a second time, he or she loses the right to examination at each university in the Federal Republic of Germany. This will be communicated to the person concerned by a written notification from the Examination Board. The student has the possiblilty to give a statement.<\/p>\n [\/CustomToggleSlug][CustomToggleSlug heading=”What happens if I cannot participate in an exam?” open=”et_pb_toggle_close” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n If a student cannot participate in an examination, he or she must provide a valid reason. In the case of illness, a medical certificate must be submitted to the lecturer of the course without delay. If a candidate misses an examination and does not give proof of a valid reason, he or she is deemed to have failed. The same applies if a student tries to influence the test results by cheating or using non-approved aids.<\/p>\n [\/CustomToggleSlug][CustomToggleSlug heading=”What is the Examination Board?” open=”et_pb_toggle_close” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The Examination Board is made up of five elected members and their respective elected alternates. One of these five members presides. The tasks of the Examination Board include, among other things, the processing of applications from students and the monitoring of progress after each semester. In addition, the Examination Board ensures compliance with the provisions of the examination regulations.<\/p>\n [\/CustomToggleSlug][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ specialty=”on” admin_label=”Abschluss und Master-Arbeit” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_4″ specialty_columns=”3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_row_inner _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column_inner saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][CustomToggleSlug heading=”What is the master’s thesis?” open=”et_pb_toggle_close” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The master\u2019s thesis is a scientific report on a project that has been carried out under supervision. It is intended to show that the candidate is able to solve a computer science problem according to scientific methods and to present the results clearly. The thesis can be written in English or German, or on request also in another language. Six months\u2019 working time is allowed for the master\u2019s thesis. Details can be found in the examination regulations.<\/p>\n [\/CustomToggleSlug][CustomToggleSlug heading=”Why is the master\u2019s seminar required?” open=”et_pb_toggle_close” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The master\u2019s seminar is a type of research colloquium, in which the student must present the topic of his or her master\u2019s thesis to the faculty of the chair where he or she wishes to write a thesis. This seminar must be completed before registering the thesis with the examination secretariat, and serves as a way to receive feedback from the faculty and to evaluate how well the student has understood the topic. The master\u2019s seminar provides 12 CP. No later than the semester after the master\u2019s seminar, the student must register his or her master\u2019s thesis; otherwise he or she has to do it again.<\/p>\n [\/CustomToggleSlug][CustomToggleSlug heading=”Is there a final exam for the master\u2019s degree program?” open=”et_pb_toggle_close” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The master\u2019s program comprises in-course examinations and a thesis (the master\u2019s thesis). This means there is no single final examination; instead, every course includes its own performance checks. Therefore, the student has the opportunity to actively shape his or her degree every semester.<\/p>\n [\/CustomToggleSlug][CustomToggleSlug heading=”When do I receive my master\u2019s degree?” open=”et_pb_toggle_close” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Students who have fulfilled the requirements according to their study regulations will receive their master\u2019s degree. It will reflect the results of their performance assessments and the master\u2019s thesis.<\/p>\n [\/CustomToggleSlug][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ specialty=”on” admin_label=”Sonstiges” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_4″ specialty_columns=”3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_row_inner _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column_inner saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][CustomToggleSlug heading=”What is the Computer Science Students\u2019 Representative Council?” open=”et_pb_toggle_close” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The Computer Science Students\u2019 Representative Council (\u201cFachschaft\u201d) represents the students in this course of study. It is made up of elected members who take care of the students\u2019 interests and is, so to speak, the students\u2019 \u201cvoice\u201d. The Council ensures, for example, that the students\u2019 proposals for the use of the study fees are passed on to the right places.
