Structure of the examinations

Bachelor's programme

There are two module examinations over two semesters, which are always offered in the summer semester:

  • Introduction to Psychological Methodology (BPSY201p)
  • Multivariate Data Analysis (BPSY202p)

There is one module examination over one semester, which is always offered in the winter semester:

  • Test Theory and Test Construction (BPSY206p)

Master's programme

There are two partial examinations, each over one semester:

  • Advanced Research Methodology (MPSYPT01) Part 1 -> Partial examination 1 in the winter semester.
  • Advanced Research Methodology (MPSYPT01) Part 2 -> Partial examination 2 in the summer semester

Examination dates and registration

For each module examination with its own examination number, there is a first date and a second date in the corresponding examination period. You can register in advance for one of the two dates within the examination registration period, provided that the examination format is set as an written examination on the first and second date.

It is therefore possible to register for and take a module examination in the examination format of a written exam directly on the second examination date, provided that registration is completed within the examination registration period. In the event of a retake, there is no entitlement to a third examination date in the examination period.

If you take the first date for examinations:

Failure, granted withdrawal due to illness or an attempt not counted if failed within the period stipulated: you can repeat the module examination on the second date of the examination period. Exam registration is carried out at NB, NE by the examiner. In the case of an admissible RAT or attempt not counted if failed by the Examinations Office.

If you take the second date for examinations:

Constellation 1:

First attempt on the second date of the written examination: if you do not pass the module examination (NB, NE) or withdraw due to illness (RAT), you can only take the module examination from the next semester in which it is offered. This requires self-employed re-registration by the student. There is no entitlement to a third examination date during the examination period.

A granted free attempt after failing a module examination (FNB) may also only be taken in the next semester in which the module is offered. This requires independent re-registration by the student. There is no entitlement to a third examination date within the examination period.

A free attempt after passing a module examination for the purpose of improving the grade (FBE) does not apply to module examinations. Detailed information can be found in the FAQs of the Psychology Examination Office under the heading “Free attempts for grade improvement.”

Constellation 2:

Second attempt on the second date (all examination formats): if you fail a module examination (NB, NE) or withdraw due to illness (RAT), you can only take the module examination from the next semester in which it is offered. This requires self-employed re-registration by the student. The number of attempts will be carried over. There is no entitlement to a third examination date during the examination period.

An granted free attempt after failing a module examination (FNB) is not possible, as this is a repeat examination.
