Exams and Master’s thesis

General information

There is a distinction between ungraded (pass or fail) and graded examinations. Graded examinations have more stringent requirements as the marks count towards the final bachelor’s or master’s degree.

The examination periods for graded examinations are always approximately 3 weeks after the end of teaching (usually in weeks 3/4 and 26/27). Ungraded examinations are taken at around the same time.

Further information

Further information on the Bachelor’s and master’s examinations is only available in German.

Information on the master's thesis is only available in German.
