Examination Regulation

For the master program Infection Biology several rules apply:

1. The universal Examination Procedure Regulations (Prüfungsverfahrensordnung "PVO"): These rules include guidelines that apply to all technical and scientific programs of the University of Lübeck.

2. The course-specific Degree Regulations (Studiengangsordnung "SGO"): which are specific to the certain course of study. Note, the most current versions available/published at the time of student's enrollment (1. week of October) applies throughout her/his studies!

3. The Higher Education Act of Schleswig-Holstein “Hochschulgesetz Schleswig-Holstein” is very clear as to whether attendance (physical presence i.e. active participation) is mandatory or not:

§52(12) Examination Regulations: A compulsory participation of students in courses may not be regulated as a prerequisite for participation in examinations, unless the course is an excursion, a language course, an internship, a practical exercise or a comparable course.

 

Besides the practicals, all IB seminars have a clear course/exercise character with group discussions. Because of this, your attendance throughout all of the seminars is mandatory! Attendance at lectures is not mandatory by law but highly recommended as a good preparation for the oral/written examination.
