Dear students,

As of 01.02.2021, no further general extensions will be made for the processing times for theses at the SBE due to the infrastructure available for the necessary literature research (e.g. scan service of the departmental library, increased availability of digital literature) and the possibility of submitting the thesis digitally, there are no reasons at our department that justify a further blanket extension of the processing times.

If, in individual cases, it is actually not possible to continue processing due to current circumstances, a justified application for an extension can be submitted to the Examinations Office.

Dear students,

the updated (15.12.2020) information for students of FB4 can be found on the page Information of the Examination Office on current regulations during the corona pandemic.

Pay particular attention to the regulations on deregistration from examinations.

Thank you for your understanding

Dear students,

We hereby inform you that no presence examinations will take place in the period from 16.12.2020 to 10.01.2020.

Our department has taken this decision after intensive consultations, as the protection of our students, staff and their families and relatives is our top priority. Of course, the examinations have all been planned under the strictest hygiene and safety precautions, but nevertheless, travelling to and from the examinations alone poses a risk that we cannot justify - in view of the urgent appeals of the federal government and the upcoming holidays.

We have already contacted the chairs involved to clarify how to proceed with the respective exams. The following possibilities come into consideration:

1. The exam will take place online at the announced time.
2. The exam will be switched to an online format and will take place at a later date (if possible before the start of the regular exam period in February).
3. It is not possible to switch to an online examination, so the examination will take place during the regular examination period in February.

For the exams that should take place on 16.12., all registered students will receive an e-mail from the Examinations Office today, for the remaining exams this will take place tomorrow. The email will explain the further procedure for the respective exam in more detail.

We hope for your understanding for this decision, which was not easy for us, and wish you a relaxing holiday season, a good start into the new year and above all good health!
