Grade calculation in the master's degree programs

The weighting of module grades in each program is determined by the respective Degree Program Regulations
Modules and parts of modules are graded as follows:

 

 

1.0, 1.3

sehr gut (very good)

Achievement is significantly above average

1.7/2.0/2.3

gut (good)

Achievement is above average

2.7/3.0/3.3

befriedigend (satisfactory)

Achievement is average

3.7/4.0

ausreichend (sufficient)

Achievement fulfills expectations despite deficiencies

5.0

nicht ausreichend (fail)

Achievement does not fulfill expectations due to significant deficiencies

 

The module grade is expressed only to the first place after the decimal. All further places after the decimal are dropped without rounding.
If a module has a final module exam, the grade of the final module exam is also the grade for this module.

If a module has exams for individual parts, the weighting of each of these exams in the module grade is defined in the respective Degree Program Regulations. Each exam within a module must be graded as ‘ausreichend’ (4.0, sufficient) or better in order to pass.

 

Embedded Systems Egineering - Master of Science - PO-Version 2012

The overall module grade is the weighted average (weighted arithmetic average) of the module grades.  If all of the module grades are each 1.3 or better or is the total grade a 1.0, you will pass “with distinction.”

Computer Science - Master of Science - PO-Version 2020

The overall grade of the Master’s Examination is calculated as the arithmetic average of the module grades weighted by ECTS points.
If there is a completed examination included, the module grade for the module "Individuelle Studiengestaltung"  shall, notwithstanding sentence 1, be included in the calculation of the overall grade with a weighting of 6 ECTS points.
If all of the module grades are each 1.3 or better or is the total grade a 1.0, you will pass “with distinction.”

Computer Science - Master of Science - PO-Version 2011

The overall module grade is the weighted average (weighted arithmetic average) of the module grades.  The grade of the thesis module is weighted with a factor of 2.
If all of the module grades are each 1.3 or better or is the total grade a 1.0, you will pass “with distinction.”

Microsystems Engineering / Mikrosystemtechnik - Master of Science - PO-Version 2009

The overall module grade is the weighted average (weighted arithmetic average) of the module grades. 
If all of the module grades are each 1.3 or better or is the total grade a 1.0, you will pass “with distinction.”

Sustainable Systems Engineering - Master of Science - PO-Version 2005

The overall module grade is the weighted average (weighted arithmetic average) of the module grades. 
If all of the module grades are each 1.3 or better or is the total grade a 1.0, you will pass “with distinction.”

he overall grade of the Master’s Examination is calculated as the arithmetic average of the module grades weighted by ECTS points. If there is a completed examination included, the module grade for the module Individual Course Design[mn1]  shall, notwithstanding sentence 1, be included in the calculation of the overall grade with a weighting of 6 ECTS points.
