The Examinations Office verifies whether the conditions for participation in the final oral exam have been met (module 'Academic Method and Presentation'). The bachelor’s thesis must have achieved a minimum grade of ‘sufficient’ ('ausreichend').

All compulsory modules must have been completed, the minimum number of elective module credits (= 55 ECTS) obtained and thus a total number of at least 174 Credits achieved. Once you have been admitted to the final oral exam we will register you in QIS for the module ‘Academic Method and Presentation’. You will be informed of your examiners and the exact examination date in good time by email.

The Assessment Regulations stipulate that before a graduation certificate can be issued, a specified number of elective module credits must have been gained in order to achieve the mandatory number of 180 ECTS required for a bachelor’s degree.

All achievements (Leistungen) in excess of the 180 ECTS are listed separately on the graduation certificate.

Please submit the relevant form to the Examinations Office.
