Examinations
General information
In the program Master Marine 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

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.
