Conditional admission What does this mean for me? I Conditions have to be fulfilled in addition to the normal Master s curriculum likely to extend the time you need to graduate You have to complete the required modules by the end of the second semester. If the module you have to take is only offered in the summer semester, you have officially only one attempt. You will be automatically registered for these courses, but you have to register for the exam yourself. 16.10.2014 Introduction - Master ESE - Prof. Stieglitz 15
Conditional admission What does this mean for me? II It is not sufficient to take the exam, you have to attend the course. If the lecturer requires any exercises or mid-term exams for admission to the final exam, you also have to fulfill these requirements. Exams required for conditional admission can only be repeated once. 16.10.2014 Introduction - Master ESE - Prof. Stieglitz 16
