The 2016 examination regulations for the Data Science degree program expire on 30.09.2023. Until then, the study must be completed according to this examination regulations. If this is not the case - for whatever reason - there are 2 possibilities:
- If, in addition to the expiration of the examination regulations, the affected students also exceed the maximum period of study, they will be exmatriculated without a degree.
- In all other cases, the corresponding students are automatically transferred to the latest examination regulations. However, this may result in the fact that modules which were passed according to the old examination regulations are not transferred because they do not (no longer) exist in the new examination regulations. Another problem may be that further modules have to be passed additionally because they were newly added to the study program. If the orientation examinations of the current as the old examination regulation differ, this can lead to major complications. In general, such a change of the examination regulation leads to a further extension of the duration of studies or even to the termination of studies. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to successfully complete the studies within the old examination regulation.
The curriculum
The specifications of the examination regulations regarding the compulsory and elective modules are shown as a study progress plan for a better overview. This plan does not show any deadlines or other concerns of the examination regulations. It only indicates which modules should be completed when and in what order, as well as where there is room for elective modules. The plan therefore serves as an orientation guide for the study program and can be individually adapted. Nevertheless, it is important to note that most modules are only offered once per year and that the orientation exam has a time limit that must not be exceeded.
The expiring examination regulations 2016
The 2016 examination regulations for the Data Science program are the oldest examination regulations for this program that still include students. It is valid for all new starters (both first-year students and students changing the program) between 01.10.2016 and 30.09.2017. The appendix of the PO lists all mandatory modules and the restrictions for the elective areas.
