10 How to select your Specialization Track You need 6 to 7 specializiation courses (36 42 ECTS) 5 courses have to be from one single Track (30 ECTS) 1 course has to be a seminar (4 ECTS) If you chose a seminar from your Specialication Track this will count as one of the five mandatory courses. In this seminar, students write a survey/scientific paper and provide an overview presentation of state-of-the-art research, as found within the existing literature (i.e., published research papers). The course Scientific Research (2 ECTS) is also mandatory and part of your track. The selection of your specialization track works as follows: The Student Services (Studienbüro) records the courses for which you have registered for an exam. As soon as these courses uniquely identify one particular specialization track this is the one you have chosen. We strongly recommend you to choose your specialization track BEFORE you choose your specialization courses. 10

24 Overview Examination Regulations Exam registration Withdrawal from an exam Module Commitment Resits Module Change Projects Team Projects, Seminars and Master Thesis Plagiarism Study Plan 25

25 Examination Regulations The examination regulations (Prüfungsordnung) state your rights and duties as a student of Business Informatics at our university: You can find them here (in German and English): 26

26 Contacts for Examination Affairs The examination board (Prüfungsausschuss) of the Faculty of Business Informatics is the authority in questions regarding the examination regulations The Student Services Office (Studienbüro I) implements those regulations and is the first choice of contact for most questions 27

27 Exam Registration Registration via the Student Portal: portal2.uni-mannheim.de Dates will be announced via the mailing list Attention: General registration period: Oct. 11 Oct. 25 Earlier exam registration period for Business Administration fundamental courses and Information Systems (IS) courses: Sept. 20 Oct. 04 Exams for fundamental courses in Computer Science (CS) and Information Extraction (IE) can be registered either for the first or the second round of examinations. 28

28 Withdrawal from Exam Registration Within a certain time limit you can withdraw (Abmelden) from an exam registration without any repercussion You can only withdraw from a module if in-class exams or assessments have not been taken or are not currently being taken. The deadlines for withdrawals are announced on the pages of the Student Services Office You can use the form from here: 29

29 Withdrawal from Exam Registration If you deregister (Rücktritt) after the deadlines for withdrawals without a valid reason: You will fail the exam (Grade 5.0) If you do not appear for the exam: You will fail the exam (Grade 5.0) If you fall ill and cannot write an exam: Immediatly go to a doctor or hospital and get a certificate ( Attest ) documenting the illness preventing you from taking the exam Hand in the certificate to the Student Services immediatly If you fail to do so: You will fail the exam (Grade 5.0) 30

30 Module Commitment Once the period for withdrawal of registrations has passed and you are registered for the exam of a module you are committed to pass this module Failure to pass this module, means that the examination for the Master is finished 31

31 Resits (Retaking an Exam) You can resit every exam ONCE You have two second resits (so-called Jokers ) You will be registered automatically by the Student Services Office for the next possible examination date! There are NO third resits! Never ever! 32

32 Changing a Module You are given the chance to change your commitment to a different module In total, you can request a module change two times A module change is only possible within fundamental courses or within specialization courses Failed attempts are transferred to the new module! 33

33 Team Project, Seminar, Master Thesis 3 milestones during your studies that involve Literature research Programming Writing Practice those skills from early on If you know that your programming skills are not solid, start practicing/learning now If you cannot contribute to a team project, it is very likely that you will not get a passing grade If you have no programming skills it will be very difficult for you to find a Master s Thesis topic 34

34 Master s Thesis 6 Months It is not recommended to have other exams during this period Finding a topic: Learn about relevant topics for a Master s Thesis in the lectures and seminars Ask the people giving those courses about possible topics Look at our websites for published lists of possible topics Create your own idea 35

35 Plagiarism Plagiarism is when you copy someone else s work and do not give credit by referencing the source of the content This applies to: Images Text Code We take this matter very serious You can fail the Team Project, the Seminar or the Master s Thesis because of this 36

36 Time limits You SHOULD finish your studies within 4 semesters You MUST finish within 7 semesters! 37

37 Study Plan Template will be sent to you via Submit study plan to Only submit study plan once, you can make changes afterwards without consulting us 38

38 Goal: Your Master s Certificate! Certificate: will show how many ECTS in English if at least 60 Additional Exams that you took after you reached all required ECTS will be listed on your transcript of records but will not count into the final grade 39
