Registering for Modules and Examinations

Registering for Modules and Examinations in Modular Degree Programmes


What kind of Module Examinations are there and what are the differences?
There are two types of Module Examinations. The Final Module Examination (MAP) as well as Continuous Assessment (MCA).

Final Module Examination (MAP):
Modules with a Final Module Examination are concluded by either a written exam or an oral exam at the end of the semester.

These modules can also include a prerequisite (e.g. Laboratory practical) in order to participate in the module examination. An acquired prerequisite remains valid for 2 semesters. If the prerequisite has not been met, one shall automatically be deregistered from the Final Module Examination.

Continuous Assessment (MCA):
Modules with Continuous Assessment comprise of several test elements during the semester. Each element shall be graded separately and a final grade shall be formed from the individual points at the end of the semester.

Theses, external internships and excursions are not included in these types of module examinations.

How do I know if it is a module with MAP or MCA? And how do I know whether it is a module with a limited number of participants?
Based on the module description in the
Info-Portal Teaching. All other important information on a module can be found here too.

When do I have to register?
Students need to register for examinations during the first three weeks of lectures period each semester.

For modules with a limited number of participants, students must register two weeks prior the start of the semester.

A registration for a Final Module Examination (after, for example, a deregistration within the specified period) or a registration for a repeat examination of the Final Module Examination is be done at least 1 week before the examination period in which the examination takes place.

When can I deregister from a module?
Deregistration from a module with MCA and therefore from the examination is possible between the first three weeks of lectures period.

Deregistration from modules with MAP is possible up to a week before the examination period in which the exam shall take place.

All dates and deadlines can be found in: Semester Timetable.
