Consent* I agree with the privacy policy:
Privacy Policy
We are very delighted that you have shown interest in our enterprise. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of the DTMD University. The use of the Internet pages of the DTMD University is possible without any indication of personal data; however, if a data subject wants to use special enterprise services via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no statutory basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent from the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the DTMD University. By means of this data protection declaration, our enterprise would like to inform the general public of the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed, by means of this data protection declaration, of the rights to which they are entitled.
As the controller, the DTMD University has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so absolute protection may not be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us via alternative means, e.g. by telephone.
Definitions
The data protection declaration of the DTMD University is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection declaration should be legible and understandable for the general public, as well as our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to first explain the terminology used.
In this data protection declaration, we use, inter alia, the following terms:
a) Personal data
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
b) Data subject
Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person, whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible for the processing.
c) Processing
Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
d) Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.
e) Profiling
Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.
f) Pseudonymisation
Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
g) Controller or controller responsible for the processing
Controller or controller responsible for the processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.
h) Processor
Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
i) Recipient
Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients; the processing of those data by those public authorities shall be in compliance with the applicable data protection rules according to the purposes of the processing.
j) Third party
Third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process personal data.
k) Consent
Consent of the data subject is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

Cookies
The Internet pages of the DTMD University use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in a computer system via an Internet browser.
Many Internet sites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited Internet sites and servers to differentiate the individual browser of the dats subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID.
Through the use of cookies, the DTMD University can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.
By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized with the user in mind. Cookies allow us, as previously mentioned, to recognize our website users. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to utilize our website. The website user that uses cookies, e.g. does not have to enter access data each time the website is accessed, because this is taken over by the website, and the cookie is thus stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online store remembers the articles that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.
The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through our website by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used, and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies may be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all popular Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be entirely usable.
Collection of general data and information
The website of the DTMD University collects a series of general data and information when a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information are stored in the server log files. Collected may be (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites, (5) the date and time of access to the Internet site, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using these general data and information, the DTMD University does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as its advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. Therefore, the DTMD University analyzes anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
Subscription to our newsletters
On the website of the DTMD University, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our enterprise's newsletter. The input mask used for this purpose determines what personal data are transmitted, as well as when the newsletter is ordered from the controller.
The DTMD University informs its customers and business partners regularly by means of a newsletter about enterprise offers. The enterprise's newsletter may only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter shipping. A confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address registered by a data subject for the first time for newsletter shipping, for legal reasons, in the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail is used to prove whether the owner of the e-mail address as the data subject is authorized to receive the newsletter.
During the registration for the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the computer system assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) and used by the data subject at the time of the registration, as well as the date and time of the registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to understand the (possible) misuse of the e-mail address of a data subject at a later date, and it therefore serves the aim of the legal protection of the controller.
The personal data collected as part of a registration for the newsletter will only be used to send our newsletter. In addition, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by e-mail, as long as this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a registration in question, as this could be the case in the event of modifications to the newsletter offer, or in the event of a change in technical circumstances. There will be no transfer of personal data collected by the newsletter service to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter may be terminated by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data, which the data subject has given for shipping the newsletter, may be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revocation of consent, a corresponding link is found in each newsletter. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the website of the controller, or to communicate this to the controller in a different way.
Newsletter-Tracking
The newsletter of the DTMD University contains so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in such e-mails, which are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and analysis. This allows a statistical analysis of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, the DTMD University may see if and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject, and which links in the e-mail were called up by data subjects.
Such personal data collected in the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and analyzed by the controller in order to optimize the shipping of the newsletter, as well as to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to the interests of the data subject. These personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Data subjects are at any time entitled to revoke the respective separate declaration of consent issued by means of the double-opt-in procedure. After a revocation, these personal data will be deleted by the controller. The DTMD University automatically regards a withdrawal from the receipt of the newsletter as a revocation.
Contact possibility via the website
The website of the DTMD University contains information that enables a quick electronic contact to our enterprise, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the data controller are stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third parties.
Routine erasure and blocking of personal data
The data controller shall process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this is granted by the European legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject to.
If the storage purpose is not applicable, or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or erased in accordance with legal requirements.
Rights of the data subject

If one of the aforementioned conditions is met, and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of the processing of personal data stored by the DTMD University, he or she may at any time contact any employee of the controller. The employee of the DTMD University will arrange the restriction of the processing.
f) Right to data portability
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator, to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which was provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. He or she shall have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, as long as the processing is based on consent pursuant to point (a) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to point (b) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, as long as the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
Furthermore, in exercising his or her right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) of the GDPR, the data subject shall have the right to have personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and when doing so does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

Data protection provisions about the application and use of Facebook
On this website, the controller has integrated components of the enterprise Facebook. Facebook is a social network.
A social network is a place for social meetings on the Internet, an online community, which usually allows users to communicate with each other and interact in a virtual space. A social network may serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences, or enable the Internet community to provide personal or business-related information. Facebook allows social network users to include the creation of private profiles, upload photos, and network through friend requests.
The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, United States. If a person lives outside of the United States or Canada, the controller is the Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet website, which is operated by the controller and into which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-ins) was integrated, the web browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted to download display of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook through the Facebook component. An overview of all the Facebook Plug-ins may be accessed under https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/. During the course of this technical procedure, Facebook is made aware of what specific sub-site of our website was visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged in at the same time on Facebook, Facebook detects with every call-up to our website by the data subject—and for the entire duration of their stay on our Internet site—which specific sub-site of our Internet page was visited by the data subject. This information is collected through the Facebook component and associated with the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Facebook buttons integrated into our website, e.g. the "Like" button, or if the data subject submits a comment, then Facebook matches this information with the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores the personal data.
Facebook always receives, through the Facebook component, information about a visit to our website by the data subject, whenever the data subject is logged in at the same time on Facebook during the time of the call-up to our website. This occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If such a transmission of information to Facebook is not desirable for the data subject, then he or she may prevent this by logging off from their Facebook account before a call-up to our website is made.
The data protection guideline published by Facebook, which is available at https://facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. In addition, it is explained there what setting options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, different configuration options are made available to allow the elimination of data transmission to Facebook. These applications may be used by the data subject to eliminate a data transmission to Facebook.
Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google Analytics (with anonymization function)
On this website, the controller has integrated the component of Google Analytics (with the anonymizer function). Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering, and analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, inter alia, data about the website from which a person has come (the so-called referrer), which sub-pages were visited, or how often and for what duration a sub-page was viewed. Web analytics are mainly used for the optimization of a website and in order to carry out a cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.
The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, United States.
For the web analytics through Google Analytics the controller uses the application "_gat. _anonymizeIp". By means of this application the IP address of the Internet connection of the data subject is abridged by Google and anonymised when accessing our websites from a Member State of the European Union or another Contracting State to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the traffic on our website. Google uses the collected data and information, inter alia, to evaluate the use of our website and to provide online reports, which show the activities on our websites, and to provide other services concerning the use of our Internet site for us.
Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. The definition of cookies is explained above. With the setting of the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the controller and into which a Google Analytics component was integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject will automatically submit data through the Google Analytics component for the purpose of online advertising and the settlement of commissions to Google. During the course of this technical procedure, the enterprise Google gains knowledge of personal information, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves Google, inter alia, to understand the origin of visitors and clicks, and subsequently create commission settlements.
The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which the access was made, and the frequency of visits of our website by the data subject. With each visit to our Internet site, such personal data, including the IP address of the Internet access used by the data subject, will be transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass these personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.
The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment to the Internet browser used would also prevent Google Analytics from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already in use by Google Analytics may be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software programs.
In addition, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to a collection of data that are generated by Google Analytics, which is related to the use of this website, as well as the processing of this data by Google and the chance to preclude any such. For this purpose, the data subject must download a browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and install it. This browser add-on tells Google Analytics through a JavaScript, that any data and information about the visits of Internet pages may not be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-ons is considered an objection by Google. If the information technology system of the data subject is later deleted, formatted, or newly installed, then the data subject must reinstall the browser add-ons to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on was uninstalled by the data subject or any other person who is attributable to their sphere of competence, or is disabled, it is possible to execute the reinstallation or reactivation of the browser add-ons.
Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/ and under http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html. Google Analytics is further explained under the following Link https://www.google.com/analytics/.
Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google+
On this website, the controller has integrated the Google+ button as a component. Google+ is a so-called social network. A social network is a social meeting place on the Internet, an online community, which usually allows users to communicate with each other and interact in a virtual space. A social network may serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences, or enable the Internet community to provide personal or business-related information. Google+ allows users of the social network to include the creation of private profiles, upload photos and network through friend requests.
The operating company of Google+ is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, UNITED STATES.
With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google+ button has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject automatically downloads a display of the corresponding Google+ button of Google through the respective Google+ button component. During the course of this technical procedure, Google is made aware of what specific sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject. More detailed information about Google+ is available under https://developers.google.com/+/.
If the data subject is logged in at the same time to Google+, Google recognizes with each call-up to our website by the data subject and for the entire duration of his or her stay on our Internet site, which specific sub-pages of our Internet page were visited by the data subject. This information is collected through the Google+ button and Google matches this with the respective Google+ account associated with the data subject.
If the data subject clicks on the Google+ button integrated on our website and thus gives a Google+ 1 recommendation, then Google assigns this information to the personal Google+ user account of the data subject and stores the personal data. Google stores the Google+ 1 recommendation of the data subject, making it publicly available in accordance with the terms and conditions accepted by the data subject in this regard. Subsequently, a Google+ 1 recommendation given by the data subject on this website together with other personal data, such as the Google+ account name used by the data subject and the stored photo, is stored and processed on other Google services, such as search-engine results of the Google search engine, the Google account of the data subject or in other places, e.g. on Internet pages, or in relation to advertisements. Google is also able to link the visit to this website with other personal data stored on Google. Google further records this personal information with the purpose of improving or optimizing the various Google services.
Through the Google+ button, Google receives information that the data subject visited our website, if the data subject at the time of the call-up to our website is logged in to Google+. This occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks or doesn’t click on the Google+ button.
If the data subject does not wish to transmit personal data to Google, he or she may prevent such transmission by logging out of his Google+ account before calling up our website.
Further information and the data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/. More references from Google about the Google+ 1 button may be obtained under https://developers.google.com/+/web/buttons-policy.
Data protection provisions about the application and use of LinkedIn
The controller has integrated components of the LinkedIn Corporation on this website. LinkedIn is a web-based social network that enables users with existing business contacts to connect and to make new business contacts. Over 400 million registered people in more than 200 countries use LinkedIn. Thus, LinkedIn is currently the largest platform for business contacts and one of the most visited websites in the world.
The operating company of LinkedIn is LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court Mountain View, CA 94043, UNITED STATES. For privacy matters outside of the UNITED STATES LinkedIn Ireland, Privacy Policy Issues, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland, is responsible.
With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the controller and on which a LinkedIn component (LinkedIn plug-in) was integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted to the download of a display of the corresponding LinkedIn component of LinkedIn. Further information about the LinkedIn plug-in may be accessed under https://developer.linkedin.com/plugins. During the course of this technical procedure, LinkedIn gains knowledge of what specific sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject.

Legal basis for the processing
Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is based on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our products or services. Is our company subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).
The legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party
Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR our legitimate interest is to carry out our business in favor of the well-being of all our employees and the shareholders.
Period for which the personal data will be stored
The criteria used to determine the period of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiration of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.
Provision of personal data as statutory or contractual requirement; Requirement necessary to enter into a contract; Obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide such data
We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject provides us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data when our company signs a contract with him or her. The non-provision of the personal data would have the consequence that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact any employee. The employee clarifies to the data subject whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and the consequences of non-provision of the personal data.
Existence of automated decision-making
As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.

I. General Part
§ 1 Scope of Application
These examination regulations apply to the part-time postgraduate Master's program at the DTMD University for Digital Technologies in Medicine and Dentistry, Luxembourg and regulate in a general part the basic structures applicable there.
The program-specific regulations prescribe the contents and requirements of the individual postgraduate Master's programs, which take precedence over these examination regulations. The course of studies, course and module descriptions as well as the orientation guide for students may contain supplementary information.
§ 2 Aim of the Study Program, Purpose of the Examination
(1) The Master's examination (§ 31) is the professionally specializing postgraduate degree following an ordinary license to practice medicine, e.g. in accordance with the Approbation Regulations for Doctors of 27 June 2002 (BGBl. I p. 2405), which was last amended by Article 5 of the Act of 18 April 2016 (BGBl. I p. 886), or an analogous legal provision in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg or other EU countries.
The study program leading to the Master's examination is intended to provide students with the application-related content of the subject, in particular, while taking into account the general study objectives on the basis of scientific knowledge, to enable them to analyze processes and problems of medical practice and to find professionally justified solutions, while also taking into account interdisciplinary references. The course is designed to develop the students' ethical, creative and planning skills and to prepare them for the Master's examination.
The Master's examination (§ 31) is intended to determine whether the candidate has acquired the in-depth specialist knowledge necessary for independent specialized work in the profession, whether he or she is able to survey specialist contexts and whether he or she is capable of working independently on the basis of scientific knowledge and methods.
§ 3 Degree
Upon successful completion of the program, DTMD University awards the academic degree of postgraduate Master (MBA, M.Sc.), depending on the program.
II Admission to the Program
§ 4 Admission and admission requirements
1. admission to the study program is granted to those who have completed a university degree, a regular license to practice medicine and at least three years of professional experience after the first university degree. In addition, proof of practical experience and sufficient general medical and language skills must be provided upon admission to the study program.
(2) A completed course of study shall be deemed to be any university degree or equivalent course of study which, in accordance with Article 2 of the Law of 17 June 1963 on the protection of university degrees ("Loi du 17 juin 1963 ayant pour objet de protéger les titres d'enseignement supéri-eur"), is recorded in the register of titles ("registre des titres") deposited with the Ministry responsible for higher education. Holders of a foreign higher education degree shall be granted access to studies if the foreign higher education degree has been recognized by the foreign ministry responsible for higher education.
(3) In derogation from paragraph (2), access shall be granted to students who do not hold any of the above-mentioned degrees, provided that they either pass a special examination conducted by DTMD University or can refer to professional experience and knowledge. In the latter case, admission is subject to the submission of a dos-sier and an interview before an admissions committee appointed for this purpose by the University administration.
4. partial recognition of study modules can be requested according to VAE ("Validation des Acquis de l'Expérience", recognition of professional competences). For this purpose, a recognition commission must be formed, consisting of a member of the Presidential Board, a dean/dean of studies and a subject representative/head of studies. External university advice can be obtained. The costs of the procedure are borne by the applicant. The minimum fee per application for recognition is 800 euros. The Recognition Commission examines and decides on the equivalence of the content of partial achievements and modules already completed with those to be completed. A maximum of one quarter of the entire course of study can be recognized. The applicant must provide sufficient and substantiated information in this regard. Corresponding documents in English or German must be submitted. An unclear presentation is at the expense of the applicant.
5. sufficient language skills must be provided in the respective language of study.
This means for applicants
a) In the case of English-language courses of study - insofar as there is no exemption from proof of linguistic study ability - at least 700 points TOEIC - test result or a comparable qualification,
b) In the case of German-language courses of study - if there is no exemption from proof of linguistic study ability - at least the TestDaF with level 4 or the DSH with level 2 or a comparable qualification,
c) For multilingual study programs, both requirements apply.
Native speakers and applicants who can prove that they have lived in an English-speaking country for several years may be exempted from the test to prove sufficient knowledge of the English language. The examination board determines which comparable language qualifications are sufficient.
§ 5 Placement Examination
(1) Applicants who have passed a placement examination shall be entitled to take up studies in a section corresponding to the result of the placement examination, unless regulations on the allocation of study places conflict with this.
On the basis of the equivalent performance in the placement examination, study achievements for the acquisition of evidence of participation in courses as well as examination achievements in module examinations can be waived in whole or in part - up to a maximum of half of the credit points provided for the course of study according to the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS or ECVET). A certificate will be issued regarding the decision.
Separate examination regulations shall determine the type, form and scope of the placement examination.
§ 6 Secondary students
(1) Students who are already enrolled at another university may be admitted to DTMD University, upon application and within the limits of the available places, as so-called "second students" with the right to attend courses and to take examinations accompanying their studies or to study another course of study.
(2) Secondary students who wish to take a course-related examination at DTMD University must submit, together with their application for admission, a certificate from the university at which they are duly enrolled, stating whether and, if so, which examinations they have already taken in the course they are applying for. This certificate, which must be submitted in duplicate, must show whether the specified examinations have been passed or, if applicable, failed by the student.
§ 7 Guest auditor
Guest auditors may be admitted to participate in courses within the limits of the available places, provided that their previous education makes participation appear reasonable. Participation in examinations and the provision of certificates of achievement are possible; an examination certificate is to be issued after payment of a fee to be determined by the examination board. The grade levels result from § 23 of these regulations.
III. Studies
§ 8 Standard period of study, structure of studies, scope of studies
1 The course of study shall comprise a standard period of study of three semesters. One academic year consists of two semesters. 2.
The course of study should be completed while working. 3.
3. 120 credit points in accordance with the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS or ECVET) must be earned for successful completion of the program. The standard period of study includes the examination period. The acquisition of one credit point is based on a workload of 25 to 30 hours.
4 Examination achievements in expiring study programs or according to expiring examination regulations are offered for four semesters beyond their last regular offer according to the regular course of studies. The point in time of the last regular offer of an examination in each case results from the course of study plans of the respective last academic year started in the expiring course of studies or according to the expiring examination regulations.
5 The modules offered and the recommended course of study are specified in the study plan.
6. semesters in which students were on leave of absence are not counted towards the standard period of study.
7. upon written application to the examination office, the use of the statutory maternity protection periods, parental leave and the fulfillment of family obligations (in particular the upbringing/care of a minor child or several minor children as well as the care of relatives in need of care) as well as the special needs of disabled students will be taken into account.
Students are generally entitled and obligated to attend all courses that are part of the curricula of their chosen degree programs. This obligation is not fulfilled if the number of courses actually attended is less than three-fifths (60%) of the total number of courses and there is therefore a concern that the curricular objectives cannot be achieved.
9. upon written application, the examination office decides on the fulfillment of the attendance requirements, which can qualify the absence as sufficiently excused for important reasons, such as under (7). Students must substantiate this in their application. In consultation with the Presidential Board, the Examinations Office can name alternative courses (other courses, electronic forms of learning) and the Admissions and Recognition Commission can credit courses taken with evidence. 10.
In addition, particularly difficult and unforeseen cases of hardship may be taken into account in consultation with the Presidential Board and, if available, with student representatives.
§ 9 Structuring of the Program and Modularization
1 The study program is structured in modules. Modules are thematically and temporally rounded, self-contained study units that lead to a partial qualification related to the respective study objective. Modules can be composed of different teaching and learning forms. 2.
The study program is divided into compulsory modules and compulsory elective modules of a specialization area. Compulsory modules are courses which are the same for all students, i.e. they are not subject to selection. Compulsory elective modules are modules in which students have to choose a certain number of modules from a given group of modules or from various given combinations of modules.
3. the scope of the compulsory and specialization area is 70 credits. In addition, there is the Master's thesis with 30 and the colloquium with 20 credits. The contents of the modules can be found in the respective module descriptions. 4.
The scope of a module is at least five credits. It should be possible to complete a module in one semester, but in no more than two semesters.
Admission to a module may be made dependent on certain prerequisites, in particular on successful participation in another module or in several other modules.
6. the successful completion of a module and the awarding of the associated ECVET or ECTS requires the passing of the respective module examinations. The individual module examinations can be found in Appendix 1 and the module descriptions.
§ 10 Specialization
(1) In addition to the compulsory modules, a specialization can be chosen.
(2) A specialization shall be composed of specified compulsory elective modules.
3) The implementation of the specialization is dependent on the minimum number of seven students.
4. the choice of the specialization is made at the end of the first semester.
§ 11 Elective Modules
(1) As far as the course of studies allows, students may choose additional modules from the compulsory elective modules which are not included in their chosen specialization (elective modules) and complete them by taking module examinations.
The result of the additionally taken examination will be included in the certificate at the request of the student, but will not be taken into account when determining the overall grade.
§ 12 Forms of Teaching and Learning
(1) During their studies, students must regularly and actively participate in the courses chosen by them in accordance with the subject-specific regulations and assigned to specific modules. Regular and active participation includes independent preparation and follow-up of the courses. It can also include the completion of tasks for exercise purposes, the recording of experiments or practical work and other forms of participation. The conditions for regular and active participation are announced at the beginning of each course. Courses may be held in a language other than German, either in part or in whole, upon announcement or as specified in the module descriptions.
(2) For the successful participation in courses or modules, individual performances according to §§ 16 ff. are also required in accordance with the subject-specific regulations.
Modules or sub-modules may be offered in the following teaching and learning forms in accordance with the module descriptions:
a) Lecture
The lecture serves the coherent presentation of a subject matter as well as the communication of facts and methods. The lecturer presents and develops the subject matter with the active participation of the students.
b) Exercise
In the exercise, the subject matter and the resulting interrelationships are deepened in an exemplary manner. The lecturer leads the course, sets tasks and provides help in solving them. The students work individually or in groups.
c) Seminar
In the seminar, facts, findings and problems are worked out in alternating lectures, presentations and discussions.
d) Laboratory practical course
In the laboratory practical course, solutions to concrete problems are to be worked out independently in groups or individually. The size of the group depends on the available laboratory space and the respective safety requirements.
e) Project work
Projects are subdivided into various work projects, which serve to systematically work on the project topic in a division of labor. The work in the project can be accompanied by courses and practical events systematically, methodically and in its relation to professional practice. The results of the work projects are brought together in the project and critically evaluated. A detailed final report is prepared on the project.
f) Case study
The understanding of theoretical contexts is trained and deepened on the basis of exemplary, complex problems from practice.
g) External course
An external course represents the connection between the application-oriented studies and the professional world. It takes place outside the university and is intended to provide insights into the problems of the professional world and their solutions, which are internally related to the subject matter of the university.
h) Excursion
Excursions of one or more days in connection with certain courses serve to deepen subject-specific teaching content in an illustrative manner.
The courses are to be selected according to the didactic aspects of the course content to be taught. They are to be coordinated in terms of content and time and should be designed in such a way that students learn to work independently as early as possible. 5.
(5) Special forms of work such as role-playing and practical work experience should be integrated into the courses or in connection with them, as far as this is appropriate for the subject matter to be taught. This also includes guest lectures.
The courses can be accompanied by tutorials. In tutorials, the material of lectures and exercises is deepened in small working groups under the guidance of the instructor by means of assignments and cases. No credits according to ECVET or ECTS can be earned in tutorials.
§ 13 Performance points (credits) according to ECVET or ECTS
1. credit points are assigned to each module of a study program. They are a quantitative measure of the amount of time, consisting of attendance time, preparation and follow-up work, as well as examinations and examination preparation, which average students have to spend in order to successfully complete the courses. 2.
2. credit points are only awarded upon successful completion of a module. This means that for each module passed with at least "sufficient" in the sense of § 23, the full number of points is awarded regardless of the individual grade achieved. The number of credit points that can be earned in the individual modules, in the Master's thesis and in the colloquium can be found in the module descriptions.
3. one credit point according to paragraph 1 corresponds to one credit according to ECVET or ECTS.
4. a credit account is set up for each student to document the achievements. In the case of a passed module, the number of corresponding credit points shall be credited to this account. Within the scope of the organizational possibilities, students can view the status of their accounts at any time. 5.
5 Credit points earned at other universities according to ECVET or ECTS will be credited on the basis of recognized equivalence of the underlying study and examination achievements. In all other respects, the provisions of § 23 shall apply.
IV. Examinations
§ 14 Examination Board
1. an examination board shall be formed for the organization of examinations and the tasks assigned by these examinations. The Examination Office shall support the Examination Committee in the organizational and administrative handling of the examinations. The Examination Board is an independent body of DTMD University. It consists of
a) the chairperson,
b) his or her representative,
c) another member of the professorial staff,
d) one student member.
The chairperson, his or her representative and the other member listed in paragraph 1 c. shall be elected from among the professors of DTMD University (Professorium), the member from among the students shall be elected by the relevant student parliament. For the members of the examination board - with the exception of the chairperson and his/her deputy - representatives are elected. The term of office of the members and their representatives is two years. Re-election is permitted. The chairperson is also the president of the examination office. 3.
The examination board shall ensure that the examination regulations are observed and that the examinations are conducted properly. In particular, it is responsible for deciding on appeals against decisions made in examination procedures. In addition, it makes suggestions for reforming the examination regulations, the curricula and, if necessary, the study regulations. The Examination Committee may delegate its powers, in whole or in part, to the Chairperson of the Examination Committee.
The board of examiners has a quorum if, in addition to the chairperson or his/her deputy, at least one other member is present. A committee meeting in the form of a telephone conference is possible. The Audit Committee shall pass resolutions by simple majority. In the event of a tie, the chairperson has the casting vote.
(5) The student members of the Examination Committee shall not participate in pedagogical and scientific decisions, in particular in the crediting and other assessment of study and examination achievements and the appointment of examiners and assessors; they shall not participate in the deliberation and decision-making on matters concerning the setting of examination tasks or their own examinations.
The members of the examination board have the right to be present during the taking of examinations. This does not apply to student members who are taking the same examination on the same day.
The members of the examination board, their deputies, the examiners and the assessors are subject to official secrecy.
(8) Decisions of the examination board and its chairperson shall be communicated to the candidates concerned without delay. They shall be granted a legal hearing beforehand.
§ Section 15 Examiners and assessors
1 The Examination Committee shall appoint the examiners and assessors. The examiners shall be independent in their examination activities. They shall be subject to official secrecy.
(2) Examiners may only be persons who possess at least the qualification to be determined by the examination or an equivalent qualification and who, unless objective reasons require a deviation, have exercised a relevant independent teaching activity in the study section to which the examination relates. An objective reason may exist if a non-member of DTMD University has significantly supervised a Master's thesis prepared in practice and is therefore to be appointed as second examiner. In this case, the first examiner must, if necessary, familiarize the second examiner with the circumstances of the examination procedure. Assessors must have the necessary expertise. 3.
Examinees may propose examiners for the Master's thesis. The suggestion is to be taken into consideration as far as possible; however, there is neither a legal claim nor a claim to justification for the appointment or non-appointment of examiners. The examination board shall ensure that the examination obligations are distributed as evenly as possible among the examiners. 4.
The Examination Committee shall ensure that candidates are informed in good time of the person or persons taking the examinations. The announcement should be made at the same time as the admission to the examination, as a rule at least two weeks before the examination or the issue of the Master's thesis. The announcement in the virtual university campus is sufficient.
§ 16 General structure of the examinations
The Master's examination consists of the examinations of the compulsory modules and the compulsory elective modules of the specialization area as well as the Master's thesis according to § 25 and the colloquium according to § 30, as specified in §§ 17 ff. and Annex 1.
The DTMD University ensures through the course of studies and the courses offered that the degree program can be completed within the standard period of study. The examinations of the Master's programs shall be conducted during the course of study.
§ 17 Examinations during the course of study
1 The number and form of the examinations to be taken are regulated in Annex 1; further details are contained in the module descriptions.
2 The examinations accompanying the studies of the DTMD Master's programs usually consist of one or more seminar papers (also called "assignments"), the processing and presentation of which accompanies each module. In addition to the written work, an oral presentation and/or participation in class may also be relevant for assessment. In individual cases, the lecturer may - in consultation with the examination board - also set a written examination in accordance with § 19 for the performance review. 3.
Examinations during the course of study serve as timely proof of successful attendance of courses and acquisition of the knowledge and skills imparted in these courses. Within the framework of these examinations, students should demonstrate that they recognize the interrelationships of the respective examination area and are able to classify special questions in these interrelationships.
4 The examinations of the compulsory and elective modules take place in module-related form during the course of study. The contents of the respective courses are examined. An examination according to sentence 1 should be taken within the semester in which the course to which the examination relates takes place.
For each examination subject, two examination dates (first and repeat examination) are to be scheduled in the semester. The examination dates can also take place after the end of the lecture period or before the beginning of the lecture period during the semester break. The date of the examination will be announced to the candidates in the virtual campus of the DTMD University in due time before the examination in question.
6. examinations can only be taken by those who are enrolled and not on leave of absence or by those who are admitted as guest students according to § 6. The right of guest students according to § 7 remains unaffected.
The candidates must register for the examination by the date set by the Examination Committee. The registration is to be made via the study book in the virtual university campus of the DTMD University or, in justified individual cases, in writing to the chairperson of the examination board. The registration can be submitted for several examinations at the same time, if these examinations are to take place within the same examination period or the examination dates scheduled for them are to take place at the latest at the beginning of the lecture period of the following semester.
8. the following documents must be enclosed with the registration for examinations or submitted by a date set by the examination board, unless they can be derived from the student record book or have already been submitted earlier:
a) proof of the admission requirements specified in § 4;
b) a declaration of previous attempts to pass corresponding examinations as well as corresponding attempts to pass a Master's examination;
c) a statement as to whether, in the case of oral examinations, admission of listeners is objected to.
If it is not possible for the candidate to enclose a document required in accordance with sentence 1 in the prescribed manner, the Examination Committee may allow proof to be furnished in another manner.
The registration for an examination can be withdrawn via the study book in the virtual campus of the DTMD University or, in justified individual cases, in writing to the chairperson of the examination committee up to one day before the examination date (receipt of the withdrawal) without being credited against the number of possible examination attempts. Deregistration on the day of the examination is only possible for important reasons, such as illness. These must be reported immediately in writing to the examination department and must be credible. The examination board decides on the recognition of an important reason. Deregistration for reasons of illness is only possible on presentation of a medical certificate stating that the candidate is unable to take the examination. The certificate must be submitted to the examination office without delay, i.e. without culpable hesitation, stating the examination that was missed. In cases of doubt, the chairperson of the examination board may request a medical certificate from a public health officer.
The chairperson of the Examination Committee and, in case of doubt, the Examination Committee shall decide on admission to the examination. Admission shall be refused if
a) the requirements specified in paragraph 4 are not met;
b) the documents are incomplete and are not completed by the deadline set by the Examination Committee.
11. the candidate must identify him/herself with an official ID and the student ID at the request of the examiner or supervisor.
12. examination performances must be individually assignable. Examination performances may be written examinations - also as multiple-choice examinations -, presentations, term papers, practicals, (practical) exercises, oral performance reviews, lectures or protocols. Individual performances also serve to demonstrate media and communication skills. As a rule, examinations are held in the language in which the module was held, but in the case of foreign-language modules they can also be held in German after the lecturer has announced this at the beginning of the course. 13.
13. examinations may also be taken in the form of group work if the contribution of the individual student, which is to be evaluated as an individual performance, can be clearly distinguished and evaluated on the basis of sections, page numbers or other objective criteria which allow a clear delimitation and fulfills the requirements regulated in the subject-specific regulations.
14 In the case of group work, an extension of the processing time of a maximum of four weeks (in relation to the group work) is possible. Weighty reasons must be presented for an extension. The chairperson of the examination board shall decide on an extension.
The form of the examination performance as well as further details of the procedure, including the individual authorship of the respective examination performance, are specified in the module descriptions and in examination guidelines. After approval by the examination board, the respective lecturers who administer the examination performance may determine a deviating examination performance. The change and type of the new examination must be announced in an appropriate form at the beginning of the course, at the latest, however, two weeks before the date on which the examination is to be taken.
In the case of several graded examinations per module, these shall be combined into one module grade. The grading of the individual examinations and the determination of the module grades shall be governed by § 23.
(17) If a student provides evidence in the form of a medical certificate that he or she is unable to complete individual examinations in full or in part in accordance with the prescribed requirements due to a long-term or permanent physical or mental disability or pregnancy, the chairperson of the examination board may, taking into account the individual case, allow the student to complete equivalent individual examinations in deviation from the prescribed requirements. It is to be ensured that, as far as possible, disadvantages for disabled persons and pregnant women are compensated for by the design of the examination conditions.
18) Missing an examination date which is binding for the candidate without good cause, breaking off an examination which has already begun and failure to hand in the examination within the specified time shall be deemed to be "insufficient" in the case of graded examinations and "failed" in the case of ungraded individual performances. This does not apply to a dropout or failure to hand in the examination on time for an important reason. In order to assess whether an important reason exists in the case of a drop-out or a failure to hand in the examination on time due to illness, a medical certificate stating the inability to take the examination and the detailed reason for the inability to take the examination must be submitted. The certificate must be submitted to the Examination Office immediately, i.e. without culpable delay, stating the examination concerned. The examination board decides on the existence of an important reason. In cases of doubt, the chairperson of the examination board may demand a medical certificate from a public health officer.
§ 18 Seminar papers ("Assignments")
1 A seminar paper (e.g. case study, research) serves to determine whether the candidate is capable of independently working on a practice-oriented task in written form within a specified period of time using scientific and practical methods. The topic, scope (e.g. number of pages of the text part) and deadline of the seminar paper are determined by the examiner at the beginning of the semester. Seminar papers are usually evaluated by only one examiner. The candidate must be informed of the grade of the seminar paper no later than four weeks after submission of the seminar paper. § Section 25 (2) shall apply accordingly.
2 Seminar papers may also be admitted to the examination in the form of group work if the contribution of the individual candidate to be assessed as examination performance can be clearly distinguished and assessed on the basis of the specification of sections, areas of work, page numbers (in the case of seminar papers) or other objective criteria which permit a clear delimitation. 3.
In the case of case studies, the evaluation is based on the submitted written work, the results of which are usually presented during the classroom instruction. The case studies or seminar paper topics are determined at the beginning of the respective module. The participants then register for the chosen topic with the lecturer. For the registration § 26 paragraph 2 sentence 1 applies accordingly. Registration must take place at least one week before the deadline set by the lecturer. Deregistration is only possible for important reasons, such as illness. In all other respects, § 17, Para. 9, Sentences 3 to 7 shall apply accordingly. 4.
After registration, a presentation date shall be set by which the case study must have been completed.
(5) The case studies shall be worked on within the framework of structured self-study and, as a rule, presented during the attendance events. The presentation can be included in the grading.
§ 19 Written examinations
In the written examinations, the students shall prove that they are able to recognize selected problems from the area of their field of study on the basis of the necessary basic knowledge in a limited period of time with the permitted aids using the common methods of their subject and to find ways to solve them.
2. written examinations have a duration of at least 60 and at most 240 minutes. Exceptions are to be approved by the examination board. The examiner decides on the admissibility of aids.
As a rule, the examination task of a written examination is set by only one examiner. In professionally justified cases, the examination task can also be set by several examiners. In this case, the examiners shall jointly determine the weighting of the portions of the examination assignment in advance and shall announce it in advance. 4.
As a rule, written examinations are to be evaluated by one examiner. The board of examiners may allow deviations from this. The reasons for this are to be recorded. In the case of several examiners, each examiner shall only examine the part of the examination paper which corresponds to his/her area of expertise. 5.
The grading of a written examination shall be communicated in writing to the Examinations Office immediately after completion of the grading procedure.
§ 20 Oral Examinations
In the oral examinations, students shall demonstrate that they recognize the interrelationships of the examination area and are able to classify special questions in these interrelationships. The oral examination is also intended to determine whether they have the relevant basic knowledge.
Oral examinations are usually held by one examiner in the presence of an expert assessor or before several examiners (collegial examinations) as group examinations or as individual examinations. In this case, each candidate is only examined by one examiner per subject. The assessor or the other examiners are to be heard before the grades are determined. Oral examinations last a minimum of 15 and a maximum of 60 minutes per student. 3.
Minutes shall be kept of the oral examination. The result is to be made known to the student after the oral examination. The evaluation of an oral examination must be communicated in writing to the Examination Committee within one week of the date of the examination.
Students who wish to take the same examination in a later examination period shall be admitted as listeners in accordance with the space available, unless a candidate has objected when registering for the examination. Admission does not extend to the discussion and announcement of the examination results.
§ 21 Further forms of examination
(1) Further forms of examination are the exposé, the oral contribution and participation in class.
An oral contribution (e.g. presentation, negotiation, moderation) serves to determine whether the candidate is able to independently process and reproduce a practice-oriented task within a specified period of time using scientific and practical methods by means of verbal communication. The duration of the oral contribution will be announced by the examiner when the contribution topics are distributed. The facts relevant for the grading of the oral contribution are to be recorded in a protocol. The grade for the oral contribution should be announced to the examinee as soon as possible after the oral contribution. They are usually graded by one examiner. Oral contributions may also be admitted to the examination in the form of group work if the contribution of the individual candidate to be assessed as examination performance is clearly distinguishable and assessable on the basis of the specification of sections, areas of work or other objective criteria which enable a clear delimitation. § Section 21 (2) sentence 3 shall apply accordingly.
§ 22 Repetition of examinations during studies
(1) Examinations during the course of study, as well as the Master's thesis and the colloquium, may be repeated once if the module concerned has not been passed.
2 The repetition of an in-process examination should normally take place within two semesters after the unsuccessful attempt. However, students are recommended to take the next possible examination date. The Examination Committee shall ensure that each course-related examination is offered at least twice in each semester. 3.
In the case of examinations which the student does not take as part of the module he/she has attended, but which he/she takes in a later semester, the student has no right to claim that these examinations are based on the subject matter and teaching level of the individual lectures attended by the student.
4. an examination performance graded at least as "sufficient" or with "passed" may not be repeated.
§ 23 Evaluation of Examination Performance, Module Grades
1. examination performances shall be evaluated in a differentiated manner by means of points. The number of points for the individual examination performances shall be determined by the respective examiner, unless otherwise specified in these examination regulations. 2.
If several examiners are involved in an examination, they shall jointly assess the entire examination performance, unless otherwise stipulated in these examination regulations. In the event of a discrepancy in the assessment, the number of points shall be calculated from the arithmetic mean of the individual assessments. 3.
The assessment of examination performances is based on a points table with subsequent conversion into grades. All decimal places except the first after the decimal point are deleted without rounding. The grades 0.7 and 5.3 are excluded. 4.
4 The examination board may, if it seems appropriate, determine different binding grading scales.
5 An individual examination performance is passed if it meets the requirements of §§ 15 ff. and, in the case of grading, has been assessed with at least "sufficient" (4.0).
If a module is completed with a single examination, this must be graded in accordance with paragraph 1; the grade is then also the module grade. Otherwise, the module grade is calculated as the weighted arithmetic mean of the points (numerical value) of the individual performances assigned to the respective module, based on the credit points (paragraph 3).
The Diploma Supplement will contain an ECTS/ECVET Grading Table. The ECTS/ECVET Grading Table provides information about the position of the grade of a successful graduate within a certain group of graduates. The reference value DTMD University is the group of graduates of the two study years prior to the own final semester as the basic population. In order to obtain a meaningful figure, DTMD University will include the ECTS/ECVET grading table in the Diploma Supplement for the first time two years after the completion of the standard period of study of the first year of study.
§ 24 Credit Transfer of Study and Examination Achievements
1. study and examination achievements from the same study programs or comparable study programs at universities in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg shall be credited upon application.
2. study and examination achievements in other study programs at universities in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg will be credited upon application, provided that they do not differ significantly.
3. study and examination achievements obtained at universities outside the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg will be credited upon application, provided that they do not differ significantly in content, scope and requirements from those of the study program. In this case, no schematic comparison is to be made, but rather an overall consideration and evaluation. Equivalence agreements must be taken into account. If equivalence agreements do not exist, the examination board shall decide. 4.
Upon application, other knowledge and qualifications may be credited without a grade on the basis of documents submitted. In deviation from sentence 1, other knowledge and qualifications acquired in modules of study programs of the DTMD University can be credited with a grade, provided that the module examinations for the respective module have been successfully passed.
Students who are entitled to take up studies in a higher semester on the basis of a placement examination or recognition examination in accordance with § 5 shall have the knowledge and skills demonstrated in the placement examination or recognition examination credited to their academic achievements without a grade, the corresponding examination achievements shall be waived for them and a corresponding note shall be included in the degree certificate. The findings of the placement or recognition examination certificate are binding for the examination office. 6.
(6) If credit is given for coursework, the grades are to be transferred as far as possible and included in the calculation of the overall grade. If this is not possible, e.g. in the case of incomparable grading systems, the note "credited" is included. The credit will be marked on the certificate. The student has to submit the documents required for the crediting.
The chairperson of the examination board is responsible for the crediting and the decision on the existence of a significant difference. The responsible subject representatives and framework examination regulations subject representatives are to be heard before decisions are made on crediting. Rejection decisions must be justified in writing. In all other respects, § 14 Para. 8 shall apply.
8 Crediting is no longer possible if the student has already taken an examination in the course or module in question.
§ 25 Master's Thesis
In the last semester of study, the student must write a Master's thesis. The Master's thesis should demonstrate that the candidate is capable of independently working on a practice-oriented task from his/her field of study within a specified period of time, both in its subject-specific details and in the interdisciplinary contexts, using scientific and practical methods. 2.
The topic of the Master's thesis can be issued and initially supervised by any full-time or part-time doctoral professor who can be appointed as an examiner in accordance with § 15. At the candidate's request, the Examination Committee may also appoint a doctoral lecturer entrusted with corresponding tasks as the first or second supervisor in accordance with § 15 Paragraph 2. In any case, at least one of the supervisors must be a full-time or part-time professor. 3.
The Master's thesis may be carried out in an institution outside the university with the consent of the chairperson of the examination committee if he/she can be adequately supervised there. The candidate must be given the opportunity to make suggestions regarding the subject area of the Master's thesis and the supervising person.
Upon request, the chairperson of the examination committee shall ensure that a candidate receives a topic for the Master's thesis in good time. As a rule, the Master's thesis is to be written in English or German. Exceptions to this rule must be approved by the Examination Committee. 5.
The Master's thesis can also be admitted in the form of a group work, if the contribution of the individual to be evaluated as an examination performance is clearly distinguishable and assessable due to the specification of sections, page numbers or other objective criteria that allow a clear delimitation and fulfills the requirements according to paragraph 2.
§ 26 Admission to the Master's thesis
(1) Students may be admitted to a Master's thesis at DTMD University if they have
a) has acquired at least 65 credits in the compulsory and elective compulsory modules in his or her previous studies;
b) fulfills the admission requirements according to § 4, §§ 17 ff. and
c) is registered at DTMD University for the corresponding course of study or is admitted as a second student;
2. the application for admission is to be submitted to the Examinations Office via the Student Handbook in the virtual university campus of DTMD University or, in justified individual cases, in writing. As a rule, it should be submitted before the end of the second semester. The application must be accompanied by the following documents, if they have not been submitted earlier:
a) proof of the admission requirements mentioned in paragraph 1;
b) a declaration of previous attempts to work on a Master's thesis and to pass the Master's examination in the same degree program. The application should be accompanied by a statement of which examiner is willing to issue and supervise the Master's thesis. The student must provide proof of the timely receipt of the application.
3) The application for admission can be withdrawn in writing until the announcement of the decision on the application without counting the number of possible examination attempts.
The chairperson of the examination board and, in cases of doubt, the examination board shall decide on admission. Admission shall be refused if
a) the requirements specified in paragraph 1 are not met, or
b) the documents are incomplete or
c) the candidate has definitively failed a module examination of the course of study provided for in Annex 1 or has lost his/her entitlement to the examination by missing a deadline for repetition.
§ 27 Issue and Processing of the Master's Thesis
The Master's thesis is issued by the chairperson of the examination committee. The date on which the chairperson of the examination committee announces the topic set by the supervisor of the Master's thesis to the candidate shall be deemed to be the date of issue; the date shall be recorded in the files. 2.
The processing time (period from issue to submission of the Master's thesis) shall be at least two months and may not exceed three months. The topic and the assignment must be such that the Master's thesis can be completed within the allotted time. In exceptional cases, the chairperson of the examination committee may extend the processing period by up to four weeks on the basis of a justified application submitted before the deadline. The supervisor of the Master's thesis should be heard on the application. 3.
The topic of the Master's thesis can only be returned once and only within the first two weeks of the processing period without giving reasons. A return of the topic of the second Master's thesis within the deadlines mentioned in sentence 1 is only permissible if the student did not make use of this possibility when writing his or her first Master's thesis.
4 In the case of a physical disability or pregnancy of the candidate, § 17 paragraph 17 shall apply accordingly.
§ Section 28 Submission and assessment of the Master's thesis
1 The Master's thesis must be submitted to the Examinations Office by the deadline in duplicate in bound form and additionally in single form on an electronically readable data carrier in PDF format. Instead of submitting the thesis on an electronically readable data carrier, it can also be uploaded to the virtual university campus in PDF format. Submission by a method not known to the Examination Committee is excluded. The time of submission is to be recorded; in the case of delivery of the thesis by mail, the time of posting at the post office is decisive.
The Master's thesis must be accompanied by an assurance from the candidates that they have written the thesis - in the case of a group thesis, the correspondingly marked part of the thesis - independently and that they have not used any sources other than those indicated; the assurance of independent preparation must also be given for supplied data sets, drawings, sketches or graphic representations. If this assurance is missing or if the assurance is intentionally submitted incorrectly, the thesis is deemed to have been failed. Master's theses submitted after the deadline are deemed to have been failed.
As a rule, the Master's thesis is evaluated by two examiners. The grade (numerical value) of the Master's thesis is formed from the arithmetic mean of the evaluation of the two examiners, provided that the difference is not more than 2.0. If the difference is more than 2.0 or if the thesis is graded "insufficient" by only one of the two examiners, the chairperson of the examination committee will appoint a third person authorized to examine to grade the Master's thesis; in this case, the grade of the Master's thesis will be formed from the arithmetic mean of the two better grades; however, the Master's thesis can only be graded as "sufficient" or better if at least two grades are "sufficient" or better. For the calculation of the grade of the Master's thesis, § 23 applies accordingly.
§ 29 Repetition of the Master's thesis
(1) A failed Master's thesis may be repeated once.
A second repetition of the Master's thesis is excluded.
§ 30 Colloquium
1 The colloquium complements the Master's thesis and is to be evaluated independently. It serves to determine whether the candidate is capable of orally presenting and independently justifying the results of the Master's thesis, its subject-related foundations, its interdisciplinary connections and its extra-subject-related references, as well as assessing its significance for practice. In doing so, the candidate should also discuss the topic of the Master's thesis with the candidate.
The colloquium consists of a short presentation of the Master's thesis and a subsequent professional discussion.
3. only those candidates can be admitted to the colloquium who
a) has demonstrated the prerequisites for admission to the Master's thesis as specified in § 27, but is registered as a student or has been admitted as a second student in accordance with § 6 only when admitted to the colloquium for the first time;
b) has acquired at least 65 credits in compulsory and elective modules in his/her previous studies, and
c) the Master's thesis has been evaluated with at least "sufficient",
4. the application for admission must be addressed to the chairperson of the examination board. The application must be accompanied by evidence of the admission requirements mentioned in sentence 1, if they are not already available to the Examination Committee; furthermore, a declaration of previous attempts to take the corresponding examinations and whether an admission of listeners is objected to must be enclosed. The candidate can also apply for admission to the colloquium when registering for the Master's thesis; in this case, admission to the colloquium will take place as soon as all the necessary evidence and documents have been submitted to the examination board. The admission to the colloquium and its refusal shall be governed by § 27 accordingly. 5.
The colloquium shall be conducted and evaluated as an oral examination in accordance with the requirements of §§ 20, 24. It lasts about sixty minutes per candidate and is conducted by the first or second examiner of the Master's thesis or by the first examiner and another examiner or assessor. The colloquium can also be conducted as a group examination by an examiner with an assessor or several examiners (collegial examination). Here, too, one of the examiners should be the first or second examiner of the respective Master's thesis. In justified exceptional cases, the examination committee may deviate from the requirement of the examining first or second examiner. The reasons for this are to be recorded in the files. 6.
6 The colloquium may be repeated once.
If the candidate who has failed the colloquium for the first time fails to re-register within three years, the examination entitlement shall lapse, unless the candidate is not responsible for the failure to meet the deadline. The necessary determination shall be made by the Examination Committee.
In the case of a physical disability of the candidate, § 17 paragraph 17 shall apply accordingly.
§ Section 31 Passing and failing the Master's examination
(1) The Master's examination is passed if all module examinations prescribed by these examination regulations have been passed, the Master's thesis and the colloquium have each been assessed as at least "sufficient" and 120 credits have been acquired.
The Master's examination is finally failed if one of the examinations of the course of study, the Master's thesis or the colloquium, as prescribed in Annex 1, is deemed to have been finally "failed" and a repetition of this examination is no longer possible. Students who have definitively failed the Master's examination will be exmatriculated immediately. 3.
If the Master's examination has been definitively failed, the Examination Committee shall, upon application by the student and upon presentation of the relevant evidence and the certificate of exmatriculation, issue a certificate containing the examinations successfully completed, their grades and the credit points earned as well as the examination achievements still missing and indicating that the Master's examination has not been passed.
§ 32 Completion of the Program, Determination of the Final Grade
(1) The Master's degree program shall be deemed to have been successfully completed by those students who have successfully participated in all modules required for the degree program in accordance with the subject-specific regulations and have acquired 120 credits.
2) For the evaluation of the Master's examination, an overall grade is calculated, which is composed of the grades of the examinations during the course of study according to § 23 as well as the grade of the Master's thesis according to § 28 and the colloquium according to § 30.
The overall grade of the Master's examination is the arithmetic mean of all module grades. The evaluation of the subjects subject to examination accounts for 65/90, the grade of the Master's thesis and the colloquium for 25/90 of the final grade. The overall grade of the Master's thesis and colloquium is made up of 1/4 of the grade of the colloquium and 3/4 of the grade of the Master's thesis.
The calculation of the overall grade of the Master's examination is based on the same principle as the calculation of the module grades. § 23 shall apply accordingly.
5 The overall grade for the Master's examination shall be assigned an ECTS/ECVET grading table § 23 paragraph 7 in addition to the grade.
§ 33 Master's Certificate and Master's Certificate
1 A certificate shall be issued within four weeks after the last examination for the successful completion of the Master's examination.
2 The certificate shall show
a) the modules taken with the corresponding credit points and the grade achieved in each case;
b) the topic of the Master's thesis, the associated credit points and the grade achieved;
c) the colloquium, the associated number of credit points and the grade achieved, and
d) the overall grade determined in accordance with § 32.
The grades mentioned under a. to d. are shown as decimal grades with one digit behind the decimal point and in brackets as verbal grades according to § 23 paragraph 5.
Examination achievements which have been credited in accordance with § 24 shall be indicated on the certificate. 4.
4 The certificate shall bear the date on which the last examination was taken. It shall be signed by the chairperson of the examination board. 5.
5 At the same time as the certificate, the student will receive a Master's certificate confirming that he or she has passed the Master's examination. This document certifies the award of the academic degree according to § 3. The certificate shall be signed by the President or a Vice-Rector of DTMD University. It shall bear the date of the certificate.
§ 34 Diploma Supplement
1 At the beginning of the semester following the successful completion of the Master's examination, the student shall receive a Diploma Supplement.
The Diploma Supplement contains information on the course of study, its prerequisites and contents, the grading system and the type of degree. It is supplemented by information about the DTMD University and the Luxembourg study system.
The ECTS/ECVET grading table determined for the respective degree program is additionally included in the Diploma Supplement.
§ 35 Inspection of examination papers
After the announcement of the grading of written examination papers, the examinees have the opportunity to inspect them. Various dates are offered for the inspection. These shall be announced to the candidates in a suitable manner.
§ Section 36 Deception and breach of regulations
(1) If students attempt to influence the result of an individual performance by deception, for example by using unauthorized aids, the individual performance in question may - depending on the severity of the deception attempt - be graded as "failed" (in the case of ungraded individual performances) or "insufficient" (5.0) (in the case of graded individual performances). Anyone who disturbs the acceptance of individual performances can be excluded from the continuation of the performance of the individual performance by the respective lecturer or supervisor after a warning; in this case, the individual performance in question is deemed to have been assessed as "failed" (in the case of ungraded individual performances) or "insufficient" (5.0) (in the case of graded individual performances). The reasons for the exclusion shall be recorded on file. 2.
If applicable, the university's internal guidelines for the performance of examinations must be observed. A violation of these guidelines may be considered as cheating. 3.
3. whoever intentionally violates a regulation of these examination regulations concerning the deception of examination performances or, if applicable, internal university guidelines for the performance of examination performances, may be subject to sanctions. In the event of multiple or particularly serious attempts at deception, the candidate's study contract may be terminated and he/she may be exmatriculated. 4.
Decisions shall be made by the examination board, in the cases referred to in paragraph 3 with the involvement of the university management. Incriminating decisions shall be communicated to the persons concerned in writing without delay and reasons shall be given. Before a decision is made, the persons concerned shall be given the opportunity to comment.
§ Section 37 Invalidity of Examinations
(1) If the student has cheated in an examination and this fact only becomes known after the certificate or the attestation pursuant to Section 31 (3) has been issued, the examination board may subsequently correct the result and, if applicable, the grades for those individual performances in which the student cheated and declare the examination wholly or partially failed.
(2) If the requirements for admission to a module in the context of which an examination was taken were not fulfilled without the student intending to deceive himself or herself, and if this fact only becomes known after the certificate or the attestation pursuant to Section 31 (3) has been issued, this defect shall be remedied by passing the examination. If the student has intentionally obtained admission unlawfully, the examination board shall decide on the legal consequences. 3.
The student shall be given the opportunity to comment before a decision is made. 4.
4 The incorrect certificate, the Master's degree certificate and the Diploma Supplement or the incorrect certificate according to § 31 paragraph 3 shall be withdrawn and, if necessary, reissued.
§ Section 38 Withdrawal of the Master's degree
The Master's degree may be revoked if it is subsequently found that it was obtained by deception or if essential requirements for the award were erroneously considered to have been met. § Section 37 shall apply accordingly. The Examination Board shall be responsible for the decision.
§ Section 39 Provisions on a joint Master's degree
(Joint Master Program, in short joint degree)
(1) The DTMD offers Master's programs in joint supervision with a foreign university (Joint Master Programs). Such a jointly supervised master's degree program with a foreign university - Joint Master Program - requires that
a) an agreement on the joint supervision of master students has been concluded with the foreign university and
b) the admission to the Master's program has been made in accordance with the DTMD University or the university with which a corresponding agreement for the implementation of a Joint Master's Program has been made.
2. the master's thesis can be carried out and submitted both at the DTMD University and at the foreign university with which a corresponding contract for the implementation of a Joint Master Program exists.
3. within the framework of the Joint Master Program, students shall study a maximum of 2 semesters (1 year) at the partner university.
4. grades shall be determined according to the regulations of the university at which the respective part of the study program is completed. The respective other university/institution determines the equivalent grades according to its regulations.
During the preparation of the Master's thesis, supervision is provided by one university lecturer of the DTMD University and one university lecturer of the foreign university. If the Master's thesis has been accepted at DTMD University, it shall be sent to the foreign university for approval on the progress of the procedure. If the foreign university gives its consent, the defense of the Master's thesis will take place at DTMD University. In this case, in addition to the foreign supervisor, instead of a member of the DTMD examination board, another member of the foreign university who is authorized to conduct examinations may also be a member of the examination board. In Luxembourg, the joint examination board is always chaired by a DTMD university lecturer.
(6) If the Master's thesis has been accepted at the foreign university, it will be forwarded to the examination board to which these regulations apply for approval of the progress of the procedure. If the committee gives its approval, the examination shall take place at the foreign university in accordance with the regulations of the foreign university.
After the successful completion of a joint Master's program, the DTMD University and the foreign university shall issue a joint certificate of the Master of Science degree. This certificate shall bear such signatures and seals as are required by the regulations of the DTMD University and those of the foreign university. A joint certificate may also be replaced by individual certificates issued by the DTMD University and the foreign university, indicating that the two certificates together constitute a joint Master's certificate. If the right to use a post-graduate Master's degree is acquired, this shall be indicated in a suitable place on the certificate.
§ 40 Entry into force and publication
These Examination Regulations shall enter into force with effect from 20.11.2019. They will be published in an appropriate manner on the virtual university campus of the DTMD University.
