Additional Information

Conditions for granting credit points

Regular participation in colloquia (12 proofs of attended presentation events in the colloquium pass). 
The primary goal of the master colloquium is the discussion of the presented master theses and thus the scientific discourse between teachers and learners as well as the students among themselves. This requires the attendance of the students, who have to prove twelve attended lectures in the colloquium pass. Lecture events of up to four hours are counted as one event and longer events accordingly as several events.
Scientific lectures, meetings and conferences relevant to the chosen field of specialization can also be counted. In order to receive credit for participation in other online lectures and conferences, students are required to submit proof of participation to the colloquium pass. This can be done by a confirmation of attendance (also via email) or a confirmation of registration in combination with a screenshot of the event. Since every student has to present his/her master thesis once in the master colloquium, its regular attendance is strongly recommended as preparation.
