Reference text
PLEASE NOTE:

If you want to take a module/course which is not listed in the list of approved courses/modules, please check thoroughly whether the course/module fulfils the requirements listed under ‘module contents’ before you start the course/module. The requirements for the minor module are also described in the subject specific amendments to the general examination regulations (fachspez. Anlage).
 

In cases of doubt, the programme coordinator can advise you.

Recognition procedure:

  • Certificates of completion of approved courses/modules (see list of approved courses) have to be sent directly to the examinations office. 
  • Certificates of completion for courses/modules without former approval have to be sent to the head of the examinations committee together with the approval form and a course/module description.


If you want to take an additional elective module for your Minor (taking only a part of an elective module is not possible), you need to inform the contact person for the respective module in writing BEFORE the start of the module. If your request is NOT rejected in written form within 4 weeks, the module counts as approved for the Minor and the course credits will be automatically entered for your Minor. You will receive a pass/fail for this module. You CANNOT use it afterwards as a normal elective module. You can also NOT rededicate an elective that you have already started as your Minor.


Bachelor level courses are NOT acceptable. Note that Bachelor level courses can be listed in some Master programmes (e.g. Master of Education). This does not qualify a Bachelor level course for the Minor module.

It is your responsibility to ask the teacher whether you can take part in a course/module.

Please be aware that you can only use 6 credits for the module psy141 Minor. If you take more Minor courses/modules, these credits cannot be used for your degree. You can still ask the teacher to sign an attendance certificate (download https://uol.de/en/psychology/master/course-overview) or module examination form (https://uol.de/en/course-of-study/exams/neurocognitive-psychology-master-545) which is sufficient for later applications to prove that you took the additional course/module.
Module examination
If grades are earned in the minor, those are counted as pass/fail. Certificates for grades can be separately requested from the examination office.
