Examinations
Various examination offices deal with examination matters at Osnabrück University. Please contact the institution responsible for your degree program!
For students in single-subject degree programs , the examination office of your subject is always responsible.
Students on multi-subject degree programs (e.g. Dual-Subject Bachelor or Teacher Education) have different contact persons depending on their concerns:
- The examination office of the respective subject is responsible for all examinations you take in your subjects.
- For the interdisciplinary area (core curriculum for teacher education & professional skills development area) as well as for interdisciplinary certificates, transcripts of records and final documents, please contact the PATMOS multi-subject examination office.

Examination regulations
Which is which?
Subject-specific access and admission regulations specify which requirements you must fulfil to be admitted to a Bachelor's or Master's degree program, e.g. language skills or prior knowledge of the subject. The regulations also determine how places are allocated in degree programs which are subject to admission restrictions.
If there are no access and admission regulations for your subject, you will find all the necessary information in the interdisciplinary requirements for a degree program.
The examination regulations contain legally binding regulations on the timing, content and organisation of the respective degree program. These include information on program content (mandatory and mandatory elective modules) and examinations (requirements, repeatability, free attempt).
General Examination Regulations
The General Examination Regulations (PDF, 338 kB) apply to students of almost all degree programs. These contain general regulations and other regulations applicable to all degree programs.
Program-Specific Examination Regulations
Program-specific examination regulations contain regulations that only apply to one degree program. For example, they determine which degree is awarded upon graduation.
Subject-Specific Parts
For multi-subject degree programs (e.g. dual-subject Bachelor degrees), additional subject-specific sections apply for the individual subjects in addition to the general examination regulations and the program-specific examination regulations, which regulate a range of factors including the modules you must study during your degree program.
A module is a single component of a program that is a complete learning unit in terms of content and time, in which students are taught skills and knowledge in a specific subject area. It is made up of various courses (e.g. seminars, lectures, practical courses). The module descriptions contain information on the workload, coursework and grading.
The program-specific examination regulations for single-subject degree programs and the relevant subject-specific and interdisciplinary sections for multi-subject degree programs (see "Examination Regulations") set out the modules you have to complete in your subject area.
The examination regulations contain legally binding regulations on the timing, content and organization of the respective degree course, e.g. information on the course content to be completed (compulsory and compulsory elective modules) and on the examinations (procedure, repeatability, free attempt). Which examination regulations apply depends on your chosen degree. The regulations are linked on the respective degree information pages.
