Explanatory Supplement
Grading
Students receive documents verifying successful participation in a course, the so-called Scheine, to be
submitted when registering for major examinations. They are usually graded, if not – as sometimes in
the natural sciences – students are awarded a “passed successfully” which is not to be compared with
a pass/fail modus.

No active participation of students, no control of attendance;
(normally) no grades awarded.
Active participation required; grading occurs on the basis of a
paper(s) and/or written examination (Klausur); in most cases an
oral presentation on a topic is also required.
a. Laboratory course in the natural sciences
b. Language course in the language lab
Require active participation and are usually graded.
Supplementary course in connection with lectures, (more applied
and in-depth); require active participation and are usually
graded.
Field trip including sample preparation and usually seminar
and/or assignment on theoretical background
Internship in company/industry or institution (occupational field of
degree holders "Dipl.-Biol. t.o.", such as pharmacy,
bioengineering, industrial research, biochemistry, education)
Scientific research including project planning, literature research,
experimental lab work, project presentation, and written thesis
Degree Courses – Types of Examinations
Vordiplom or
Zwischenprüfung
(pre-diploma or
intermediate
examination)
Diplom
Examination confirming successful completion of stage I studies
(Grundstudium), usually awarded after 4-5 semesters which gives access to
stage II studies (Hauptstudium); in most cases graded. The Vordiplom
examination is frequently regarded the first graduation, similar to a B.Sc.
(bachelor of science) degree.
Academic examination in the natural sciences, behavioral sciences,
engineering, architecture, business and economics; equivalent to a M.Sc.;
one major.
Magister Artium (M.A.) Academic examination in the humanities; equivalent to a M.A..; requires two
majors or one major and two minor subjects.
1. und 2.
a. Academic qualification for teaching in secondary education (humanities,
Staatsexamen
natural sciences, behavioral sciences); two majors.
(First and Second
b. Academic qualification for professions like law, medicine, pharmacy,
State Board
dentistry, etc.
Examination)
