Rules for written exams (= examinations)
Basic and orientation examination
The two module examinations "General Biology - Cell Biology and Botany, Cytology and Anatomy of Plants" (module BIO-BSc-01) and "General Biology - Zoology, Cytology and Anatomy of Animals" (module BIO-BSc-02) in the first semester count as the basic and orientation examination.
If the two module examinations have not been completed by the end of the first semester, the basic and orientation examination is failed for the first time and can be repeated at the next possible examination date. If proof of completion of the modules BIO-BSc-01 and BIO-BSc-02 has not been provided by the end of the second semester, the basic and orientation examination has been definitively failed and the degree programme has been definitively failed.
