Module structure and credit requirements
Students at HSU/UniBw H typically enroll in one major. International students, however, may attend courses from different majors, subject to availability and academic compatibility.
Please note that HSU/UniBw H does not award credits for individual courses. Instead, studies are organized into modules, which consist of several related courses. Credits and grades are awarded only after the successful completion of an entire module. Therefore, all courses belonging to a module must be attended and passed in order to receive credit and a final grade.
Some modules extend over multiple trimesters, with the final examination taking place in the last trimester of the module. Students who are present for only part of a module may not be eligible to complete it, as they cannot participate in all required courses and assessments. In such cases, no grade or academic credit can be awarded.
Depending on the circumstances, it may still be possible to attend individual courses and receive a certificate of attendance.
Examinations
Possible types of exams:
- Term papers
- Essays
- Presentations
- Oral exams
- Written exams
- Protocols
- Attendance lists
Time frame for exams:
Some assessments, such as presentations or reports, take place during the trimester. Final examinations, including oral exams, written tests, or term papers, are usually held at the end of the trimester or after the teaching period has concluded.
Assessment requirements and deadlines will be communicated by the instructor at the beginning of the trimester. Be sure to discuss these arrangements with your instructor early on.
Important: Departure during the examination periods is strongly discouraged. Should it be necessary to leave during an exam period, students are required to inform their faculty coordinators and course instructors well in advance. This allows for timely arrangements to be made to accommodate your absence. We kindly ask you to plan your travels accordingly to avoid conflicts with your academic commitments.
