You can find the exam dates for your semester on the German version of this page: just choose "DE" in the menu on the right hand side of this webpage (in between the share- and the printer-icon).
All necessary dates and information can be found there (bilingual)!

For exams from other departments, please check the information on the corresponding department pages or in the Moodle courses!

Exam registration in the Master of Biochemistry & Biology

When registering for examinations in the compulsory elective modules, please make sure that you register them in the correct module and the correct compulsory elective area!

In the M.Sc. Biochemistry, there are several examinations that are included in various modules. Furthermore, some modules are included in several compulsory elective areas.
Due to incorrect registration for an examination, modules or compulsory elective areas are shown as not passed, even though all the examinations hve been completed. It is therefore very important that you register for examinations correctly!
You must therefore think about which module and in which compulsory elective area the examination should be credited BEFORE registering for the examination.

In the study plan, you can see which modules and compulsory elective areas contain the courses for which you have to take the examinations. You can also use the campus online portal to see which modules can be taken in which compulsory elective area and which examinations must be taken for this module (after logging in under “Study” → “Browse module descriptions”).

Here is an example:

Student A would like to complete the module “Protein Biochemistry” in Vertiefung I.
When registering for the exam “Protein Biochemistry & Structural Biology (Lecture)”, student A has several options:

Vertiefung I:
- Module “Protein Biochemistry”
- Module “Structural Biology"
Vertiefung III:
- Module “Protein Biochemistry”
- Module “Structural Biology"
Vertiefung IV:
- Module “Protein Biochemistry & Structural Biology (Lecture)”

For a correct entry, student A must register for the examination “Protein Biochemistry & Structural Biology (Lecture)” in Vertiefung I in the module “Protein Biochemistry”.

In the M.Sc. Bioclogy, there are several examinations that are included in various modules. Furthermore, some modules are included in several compulsory elective areas.
Due to incorrect registration for an examination, modules or compulsory elective areas are shown as not passed, even though all the examinations hve been completed. It is therefore very important that you register for examinations correctly!
You must therefore think about which module and in which compulsory elective area the examination should be credited BEFORE registering for the examination.

Here is an example:

Student B would like to complete the module “Endocrinology” in the compulsory elective area “Research Focus Biology”.
When registering for the exam “Endocrinology (Lecture)”, student B has several options::

Compulsory elective area “Research Focus Biology”:
- Module “Endocrinology (Lecture)”
Compulsory elective area “Advanced Topics in Biological Resilience”:
- Module “Endocrinology (Lecture)”

For a correct entry, student B must register for the examination “Endocrinology (Lecture)” in the compulsory elective area “Research Focus Biology”.
