Change of examination regulations
For the winter semester 2020/21, new examination regulations have come into force for the study programs ITS . In almost all cases, it makes sense to change from the PO 2013 to the new PO 2020.
When changing the examination regulations, the recognition of examination achievements is based on the recognition tables and the resolution 89-5 of the examination board dated 23.09.2020.
Resolution 89-5 dated 23.09. 2020 – Change to the examination regulations 2020
.
When changing to the examination regulations 2020, examinations already taken are recognized as follows in the case of automatic recognition:
- All examination attempts (regardless of the respective examination result) will be recognized.
- All cancellations, sickness notifications, withdrawals and cancellations of examination attempts will be transferred.

General information
In the winter semester 2022/23, new examination regulations will come into force for the study programs Computer Science, Applied Computer Science and IT Security. All students who began their studies before the winter semester 2022/23 and who are studying according to PO 2013 or PO 2020 may continue to study in their own examination regulations and do not have to change. Thereby the discontinuation rules must be followed. However, it is also possible to switch to the new 2022 examination regulations for the respective degree program if these appear more attractive.
The change is made only upon request and within specified deadlines.
Important: In the winter semester 2022/23, it was possible for the last time to change to the PO 2020 as an alternative to the new examination regulations in the Applied Computer Science and IT Security degree programs. From the summer semester 2023 onwards, it will only be possible to apply for a change to the latest examination regulations. The Student Advisory Service will be happy to assist with questions regarding the change.
