Master Program Applied Geosciences
Examinations

General information

In the program Master Applied Geosciences examinations are normally offered at the end of the lecture period. Homework, presentations, reports, etc. may apply throughout the semester. The exact exam dates will be communicated at the beginning of the lecture period.

Exam types

Each module concludes with a module mark. The module examination may consist of one or more exams (graded) and / or academic achievements (not graded). For details, in particular the number, type and scope of performance records and their weighting in the calculation of the module mark are defined in the module description.

Module Exam:A module is completed with a single examination or coursework. If the exam is graded, the mark counts with 100% for the module grade. Concludes a module with "passed" or "not passed", this module is not included in the calculation of the final Master grade.
Combined Marks: A module examination may conclude with a combination of tests and coursework. Each performance within a combination examination must be passed. The module-grade calculation is up to the module coordinator. Only the module grade is visible in Pabo.
Course marks: The module grade can also consist of exams taken in the individual courses within modules. Each exam counts for the module grade in the amount of the credit score of its course in Pabo.

Registration

You can only take part in an examination if you have registered for it in Pabo by the deadline. Registration and cancellation deadlines for each module are specified in Pabo. If you are unable to register for an examination because, for example, your module does not appear in Pabo, the module has not yet been activated for registration or technical problems occur, please write an e-mail to the Examinations Office (see contact) and your examiner immediately, giving details of your problem. The e-mail must contain the following information:

• Full name, matriculation number
• VAK number and full name of the module of your examination
• Name of the lecturer
• Reason for not registering independently

If your registration problem cannot be resolved by the examination date, this e-mail with the date it was sent is proof that you tried to register in good time, i.e. within the registration deadline. Teachers are instructed to refuse your participation in examinations if you have not registered by the deadline.

In the event of illness, please contact the Examinations Office immediately (see contact) and submit the "application for sick leave" together with a doctor's certificate to the Examinations Office as soon as possible. An e-mail with the pdf file of the application and medical certificate will also be accepted.

All students who wish to complete a voluntary additional module cannot register for it in Pabo. You can either register for the examination at the Examination Office or submit the course certificate issued by the lecturer for the examination you have passed to the Examinations Office so that the grade or pass mark can be entered.

All minor subject students, part-time students and visiting students do not have access to Pabo and must register for the examination directly with the lecturer in good time.

Repeat Deadlines

With the first application in PABo for an examination of a module starts a period with a total of 5 semesters in which the entire module has to be successfully completed. If the deadline has passed without having completed the module`s exams, the compulsory deregistration will follow. Cancellation of registration for an exam in case of illness as well as holiday semesters are not counted.
Irrespectively you must register in PABo for any further exam-try you would like to take.

Recognition of Study Records

If you have already acquired credits in another course of study or during a stay abroad, or if you have acquired competences during a professional activity that you would like to have credited to your studies, please contact the Office for Study Affairs and Career Perspectives, Dr. Ulrike Wolf-Brozio, for advice. You can find a form for recognition procedures in the download area on this page.
