FAQ Master Informatics Exam Regulation 2012

Only courses listed in the course handbook can be included in the master's program:

• Courses that are listed in the course handbook (the version of the semester in which the Master's program was started applies).

If you would like to bring in other courses in justified cases, please contact the Student Services (Ms. Landefeld).
Please also note that the selection of courses must be coordinated with your mentor at the beginning of your studies (see examination regulations).

These activities can be included in the module Key Competences to the extent of a maximum of 3 CP. These activities are not graded, i.e. the module grade results from the grade of the other CP brought into the module. The following regulations apply:

• Tutoring activities must relate to a course in the Computer Science program offered by an examiner in the Computer Science teaching unit. The examiner must assess the performance as passed. The scope and evaluation criteria will be agreed upon before starting the activity.
• Activities in student self-administration can only be recognized if there is active participation of at least 3 semesters. The elected student council certifies these scopes. The grading is done by the dean of studies on the basis of a report of about 5 pages. The report includes an outline of the activities performed with emphasis on personal achievements and a reflection. The Dean of Studies may call in other examiners (e.g. committee chairs) to evaluate the performance.

No, the course must be suitable for Master's students (check with the Student Services). Some courses are aimed at both Bachelor and Master students (with different requirements). When registering in the HIS system, make sure that the course is marked as a Master's course!

The inclusion of further projects is not possible. Seminars offered by the computer science departments for the Master's program may also be brought into the modules "Practical Computer Science", "Computer Engineering", "Theoretical Computer Science" as well as "Advanced Studies in Theoretical, Technical and Practical Computer Science". If not obvious, please ask the lecturer for the assignment of the specific seminar to one of these areas. Which and how many seminars you take requires the approval of your mentor. There is no general upper limit, but your mentor will make sure that the curriculum is balanced and includes an appropriate number of lectures.
For the time being, an application to the examination board is required for the inclusion of seminars in the module "Specialization in Mathematics/Electrical Engineering".

You can take courses from the modules "Practical Computer Science", "Computer Engineering" as well as "Theoretical Computer Science" or one of the courses listed in the module handbook for this module. It is recommended to attend an event from the environment of the later master thesis.
