Lectures and Exams

All courses in the Business School are organized on the Stud.IP learning platform. You can log into Stud.IP with your university ID. Some courses are limited in the number of participants. The registration process for these courses will be activated shortly before the start of the lectures.

Bachelor's degree programs "BW", "BW dual", "WI" and "WI (dual)"

Generally, the main examination period of a semester lasts 12 days and immediately follows the end of the lecture period (two weeks, Monday to Saturday). The examinations for all compulsory subjects take place during this period. The examinations of the compulsory elective subjects, the elective subjects and the language modules (Business English, Français économique, Spanish, Chinese) are usually written in the last session of the regular semester. Repeat examinations of the compulsory and elective subjects are scheduled in the main examination period.

Bachelor's degree programs "International Business" and "Business Psychology"

Generally, the main examination period of a semester comprises 18 days and immediately follows the end of the lecture period (three weeks, Monday to Saturday).

Master's programs "Business Management" and "WIIM"

Generally, the main examination period of a semester comprises 12 days and immediately follows the end of the lecture period (two weeks, each Monday to Saturday). The examinations of all compulsory subjects take place during this period.

Please note that you have to register for the exam online in the QIS for all the performances you want to do in a semester, even if no written exam is required (e.g. for seminars). Only the thesis and the practical project / year abroad are not recorded in the QIS. Students in degree programmes with PO 2021 and later must also have to register independently for repeat examinations (in the previous semester "not passed" (NB), "did not appear" (NE) or "attestation" (AT))! The dates for the current registration deadlines can be found in the right column. Subsequent requests to register for exams that reach us outside of the registration period will not be considered (equal treatment of all students)!

Withdrawal from an examination in the first attempt is possible up to three working days before the examination date via the QIS system. Saturdays are not considered as working days. Deregistration from examinations in the second or third attempt is not possible (mandatory registration). Registration is also compulsory if a certificate was submitted in the previous attempt.

Medical certificates must be submitted at the latest within three days of the examination date to the examination office with the supplementary sheet for the submission of medical certificates. The medical certificate must show the inability to take the exam.

Medical certificates issued without a personal doctor's visit are generally not recognized.

Official medical certificate from summer semester 2025:

From summer semester 2025 an official medical certificate must be submitted from the third certificate submission per module!

E.g. first certificate submission for the Applied Mathematics module = simple medical certificate; second certificate submission for the Applied Mathematics module = simple medical certificate; third certificate submission for the Applied Mathematics module = official medical certificate!

In some exams in the Business School, calculators can be used as aids. Discuss which aids are ultimately permitted with your lecturer in advance and finally refer to the cover sheet of your exam.

The exam results are published in the QIS and can always be viewed there. If your result is (still) marked with an asterisk, this only implies that the grading process has not yet been formally completed, as an examination can still be viewed. The correction itself is completed.

There is the possibility of improving an examination performance passed in the first attempt. Please note the organizational regulations for the possibilities of improving grades in the download area.

When you have completed your exams and the results of the exams are available, you have the opportunity to view your exams. The inspection dates are usually at the beginning of the lecture period of the following semester. Please refer to the right column for details.

The department provides you with a table with which you can determine your overall grade for your studies.
