Admission thesis

Information on the admission paper ("written term paper") for teaching degrees at all types of schools

Registration

  • The admission thesis does not have to be registered with the Examination Office.
  • It is not entered in flexnow.

Scope

  • An admission thesis must be graded at least "sufficient" and be worth at least 10 CP (LPO § 29 para. 11).
  • The processing time is usually approx. 10 weeks (full-time; including writing time).
  • In preparation for the admission thesis in Biology, the "Research-oriented internship" can be completed as a compulsory elective course in module BIO-LA-M 07c No. 2. You can find more information on this on the website Studies / Bachelor of Science Biology / Project internships in the Bio teaching degree programme.

Assessment

  • It is not possible to award decimal point grades. The thesis is graded with whole marks.

Submission to the Examination Office

  • The admission thesis is submitted to the Examination Office as a printed copy in German together with the assessment report and the form.

Recognition as a Bachelor's or Master's thesis

If an admission thesis is recognised as a Bachelor's or Master's thesis in the course of an additional acquisition of a Bachelor's or Master's degree, the provisions of the relevant examination regulations apply (Examination Regulations Biology: e.g. § 7 Assessment of Examination Achievements; § 20 and 21 Bachelor's Thesis; § 29 and 30 Master's Thesis).
Further information on the additional acquisition of the BSc / MSc Biology can be found here!


Recognition of the admission thesis in the course of a doctoral project for the Dr. rer. nat. degree (only LA GY)

In the case of recognition in the course of a doctoral project in RIGeL, the supervisor of the doctoral project must certify the equivalence of the admission thesis with a Master's or Diplom thesis. As a rule, equivalence is deemed to exist if at least six months were planned for working on the topic of the admission thesis (§ 25, para. 8 of the Regulations for the Acquisition of the Academic Degree of Doctor of Natural Sciences at the University of Regensburg). In order for the equivalence to be certified at a later date, the supervisor of the admission thesis must issue a certificate of the duration of the admission thesis. (informal letter)
