Additive key competencies

Additive key competencies are acquired in independent modules. There are:

  1. Recommended key competencies ("positive list"), which are anchored in the respective subject examination regulations.
  2. Key competencies that the student can choose from the university's interdisciplinary range. These must be approved by the Examinations Office.

Previously, students could only register for the key competency examinations assigned in the respective subject examination regulations themselves. It is now possible for students to also register for examinations that cover the key competencies listed each semester in a list of interdisciplinary key competencies in the course catalog. The departments assign the courses that are suitable as key competencies to the corresponding examinations (depending on the number of credits to be earned). In the subject examination regulations, these interdisciplinary key competencies are often described as courses/examinations from the courses offered by the University of Kassel.

Deregistration of an examination as part of the additive key competencies offered by the University of Kassel

Deregistration from an examination is carried out in the same way as deregistration from a module examination and cancellation.

Information on registered services / overview of services

The service overview now offers two areas: The familiar overview of achievements and an additional area that records unassigned achievements. The key competence will remain here until it has been transferred to the correct place in the examination office in accordance with the examination regulations. You should contact your examination office, which will make the rebooking.
