Change of
requirements for registering a Master's
thesis
There has been an important change in the examination rules regarding the registration of a Master's thesis, effective immediately. Namely, a Master's thesis can only be registered if the modules from the respective adaptation block 4MECHMA001 and 4MECHMA002 or 4MECHMA011 and 4MECHMA012, the modules from the compulsory block 4MECHMA021, 4INFBA100, 4INFMAEX901, 4MECHMA022, 4MECHMA023, 4MBMA005, and 4MBMA059, as well as at least 18 credit points (LP) from the elective block have been completed.
This change is intended to prevent cases where students complete their thesis but later fail a compulsory module permanently and, as a result, cannot obtain their degree.
The legally binding text in German is as follows:
Der Antrag auf Zulassung zur Masterarbeit ist schriftlich oder elektronisch beim Prüfungsausschuss zu stellen. Die Zulassung richtet sich nach § 13 RPO-M. Darüber hinaus kann eine Zulassung nur erfolgen, wenn die Module aus dem jeweiligen Anpassungsblock 4MECHMA001 und 4MECHMA002 oder 4MECHMA011 und 4MECHMA012, die Module aus dem Pflichtblock 4MECHMA021, 4INFBA100, 4INFMAEX901, 4MECHMA022, 4MECHMA023, 4MBMA005 und 4MBMA059 sowie insgesamt mindestens 18 LP aus dem Wahlpflichtblock erbracht worden sind.
