Application and enrollment
Yes, enrollment is possible for both summer and winter semesters.Â
Transfer to the master's program is possible no later than October 31 for the winter semester and April 30 for the summer semester. By this deadline, all examination results from the bachelor's degree program must have been completed and evaluated. In the case of the Bachelor's thesis, a confirmation that the thesis was passed with at least 4.0 is also sufficient.
Please note: in order to complete the Bachelor's degree course in the summer semester, all examinations must be completed by September 30; for completion in the winter semester, all examinations must be completed by March 31. If the final examinations are completed after the relevant deadline, it is possible to transfer to the Master's degree course as described above, but the number of semesters required for the Bachelor's degree course will still increase.
Yes, proof of both languages is required for enrollment. With a German taught school or university degree from a German school / university, proof of German is not required.
Various language tests are accepted as proof of English proficiency. A high school diploma with at least Sufficient in English can also be submitted as proof of English proficiency. If the bachelor thesis was written in English, the examination board can certify sufficient English proficiency based on this.
Language skills are not tested during application, but only during enrollment!
Electives
The 120 credits in total and the credits in the application subject are to be understood as a minimum. This credit number must be reached, but may be exceeded. The last module needed to reach or exceed the limit is still fully counted and gives the full number of credits. The weighting of all grades is still according to the credits in the respective module. Only if a further module is selected after reaching or exceeding the respective limits, this no longer counts and can only be included in the certificate as voluntary additional work.
Any computer science master modules can be included in the depth-area Oral colloquium. It does not matter whether the modules have been heard or passed during the Bachelor's program, in the Master's program or not at all. As a rule, however, the examiners require that at least two of the three modules are currently heard or have already been passed.
Whether a certain combination of topics is suitable for the focus colloquium or not is decided by the examiners.
It is not possible to take second seminar. A second seminar can also not be recognized as a substitute for elective courses.
Exams
Late registration is not possible, in general. Technical problems with the registration have to be reported to the academic advisor immediately. The only case where late registration is possible is if technical issues cannot be resolved during the registration phase.
