Tiered programmes

First year examinations (BP)

• The first year examinations complete the first year of the Bachelor programme.
• The first year examinations are always grouped into at least one examination block, which means that all examinations have to be taken in the same session.

Bachelor (BSc)

• Performance assessments taken as part of the Bachelor programme, but which are not part of the first year examinations.
  See also Information on the Bachelor programme.

Master (MSc)

• Performance assessments taken as part of the Master programme.
  See also Information on the Master programme.

Additional requirements

• The Admissions Committee examines the extent to which an applicant’s previous education meets the prerequisites for enrolment on a programme. A lack of previous knowledge must be compensated for by providing additional study achievements – so-called additional requirements.
• In accordance with the decision on admissions, these additional requirements may be examined as individual examinations as well as individually compiled examination blocks.

Master of Advanced Studies in Secondary and Higher Education (MAS SHE)

• The MAS SHE degree certifies the successful completion of pedagogic-didactic training with regard to teaching in the designated subjects at secondary schools (Kurz- and Langgymnasium), specialist secondary schools, universities of applied sciences and other higher educational establishments.
• The conferral of the MAS SHE degree presupposes a corresponding Master degree (or a completed diploma programme) and, if necessary, the fulfilment of additional specialist requirements.
• Information on the MAS SHE

Teaching certificate (DZ)

• The teaching certificate (DZ) certifies the successful completion of basic teacher training in the respective subject. The granting of the teaching certificate presupposes a corresponding university Master degree (or a completed diploma programme) and, if necessary, the fulfilment of additional specialist requirements.
• The training may be completed in parallel with a Bachelor or Master programme, during a doctoral programme or on a part-time basis, alongside work.
• Information on the DZ

Master of Advanced Studies (MAS) – ONLY FOR D-AGRL AND D-MTEC

• Master of Advanced Studies (MAS) und Master of Business Administration (MBA) are continuing university education programmes. As a general rule, they are geared to academically trained senior staff and specialists who are in employment. They are generally aimed at executives and specialists with an academic background who work in companies, in universities or in the public administration. They require a master degree (MSc, MA) and professional experience or an equivalent educational status. In individual cases, however, they can follow on directly from a master’s degree.

Non-tiered programmes

• The examination subjects and any subdivision into subject examination blocks are laid down in the diploma examination regulations.
• Depending on the programme, both parts have to be taken either immediately after one another or they can be spread over various sessions/semesters.
