Due to the corona virus, the subject-specific examination board offers consultations by email (pa-informatik@uni-ulm.de). Please attach a transcript of records listing all study and exam achievements (available on campusonline.uni-ulm.de) as a pdf-document to your email. Depending on your case, further documents might be required (see below). Use your Ulm University email address. If your case cannot be dealt with by email, provide a phone number where you can be reached. You will then be called.
Please pre-fill all forms as much as possible before contacting the examination board. Please name the file(s) according to the following pattern [Surname]_[First name]_[YYYYMMDD]_[1,2,3,...].pdf, e.g. Denver_John_20200121_1.pdf.
The subject examination board does not provide individual academic advice, for example on how to plan your studies or choose a suitable study programme. Please contact one of our course advisors regarding these matters.
All examination deadlines are extended by one semester for students who started a degree course in the winter term 20/21. For students who are enrolled in the same degree course in summer term 20 and in winter term 20/21, the examination deadlines are extended by two semesters.
Please take note of the instructions for conducting exams. For the computer science exams, the exam planning system gives an overview of the planning status.
To apply for the recognition of achievements from other or previous study programmes and semesters abroad, please bring the following documents to your appointment and send them via email.
In principle all study achievements that are not older than ten years and that were not needed for admision in the currently studied programme may be recognised. According to the General Study Regulation of Ulm University, you have to engage into the recognition procedure until the end of one semester once you have started your (new) study programme or obtained a test result.
According to a decision of the examination board, students are classified in a higher semester if the sum of credit points of the recognised achievements attains 30 credit points. For integer multiples the classification is calculated accordingly. The increase is also triggered, if the sum of achievements attains relevant thresholds later throughout your entire studies.
Attention: Open examination processes cannot be closed by a recognition! |
The forms for the graduation grant (Studienabschussförderung) are processed by the student's office (Studiensekretariat).
Thesis deadlines are extended for the duration of a closure of our university library. The library is currently closed since Dec 16th 2020.
Generally, a thesis deadline can extended due to two different reasons for which the following documents are required:
Please submit a transcript of records including all study and exam achievements. In the case of incapacitation due to illness, please provide the original attestation that certifies your temporary – with start and end date – inability to study.
Attestations must be verified by a doctor but do not need to provide details on the type of illness.
Please contact the subject-specific examination board immediately, when it becomes clear that you are not able to obtain the required number of credits. An extension for reaching credit points can only be grantedif the reason for not obtaining sufficent credits is not your own fault.
There is an official form (available in German and English, see 'Forms for students') for the attestation of a student's inability to attend an examination. This has the following reason: the final decision to acknowledge that a student was sufficiently incapacitated by their sickness to not attend an examination is not made by the treating doctor but the examination authority (as opposed to labour law, where it is the other way around).
This approach follows a judicial recommendation (Verwaltungsgericht Sigmaringen, administrative court) according to which it is admissible to request a description of the actual symptoms of illness from the treating doctor. This supposedly makes it easier to assess the submitted medical certificate and therefore the decision to acknowledge or dismiss the inability to attend an examination.
(Bruno Franz, Office of the Registrars, Circular from 27 October 2017)
Please bear these conditions in mind when applying for an extension of time limit.
The subject-specific examination board has curated some guidelines regarding plagiarism.
We expect that you familiarise yourself with the general provisions and the subject-specific examination regulations for the MSc Cognitive Systems, but for your conveniance, the subject-specific examination board has summarised some important rules in the form of frequently asked questions (FAQs).
Throughout the consultation process and decision making, personal data is collected, stored, and processed.
It might be partially passed on to the following instances:
All documents relevant to a decision are stored both electronically and on paper for up to five years after the final exmatricilation at Ulm University and are thereafter expertly destroyed.
