The Frame­work Exami­nation Regu­lations (FER) deter­mine the general conditions for the exami­nations. They are legally binding and regulate the curricu­lum, the ad­mission require­ments, the recog­nition of work, the assess­ment process, assess­ment dates and regis­tration dead­lines, the missing of assess­ment dates and with­drawal from assess­ments, fraud in assess­ments as well as grading, resit options and much more.

The Subject-Specific Annexes (SSA) are part of the Frame­work Exami­nation Regu­lations and contain the subject-specific curricu­lum. They contain detailed and legally binding regu­lations on the modules to be taken and their content, the types of courses, the type and number of exami­nations and the credit points to be earned in all Master's programmes.

Further copies in English will follow soon. In the meantime, we ask you to use the German editions.
