In order to successfully complete modules, a corresponding examination must usually be taken.<br>This is predominantly a written examination during the examination period, which extends over four weeks and directly follows the lecture period. However, depending on the lecturer's specifications, homework, presentations, oral examinations or similar may also be required.<br>An exception to this is the Bachelor's thesis, which is defended in a colloquium at the end of the degree programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Detailed information on this can be found in the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/wpadmin.hs-nordhausen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/08\/abkm_2016_11_16-12-16.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Examination regulations<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div  class=\"spacer_wrap\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><div class=\"wp-block-spacer inner-sm\" style=\"height:calc(2em * 0.4)\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-spacer inner-md\" style=\"height:calc(2em * 0.6)\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-spacer inner-lg\" style=\"height:calc(2em * 0.8)\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-spacer inner-xl\" style=\"height:2em\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-greyd-accordion gs_2DYpE0\" data-autoclose=\"false\" data-openfirst=\"true\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-greyd-accordion-item\"><button class=\"wp-block-greyd-accordion__title\" role=\"button\" type=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"sect-qvwu-1\" id=\"title-qvwu-1\"><span>Audit scope<\/span><span class=\"icon icon-normal arrow_triangle-down\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><span class=\"icon icon-active arrow_triangle-up\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/button><div class=\"wp-block-greyd-accordion__content\" role=\"region\" id=\"sect-qvwu-1\" aria-labelledby=\"title-qvwu-1\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Examinations and coursework must be completed in the individual subject areas.

For this purpose, the university sets a four-week examination period for each semester, which immediately follows the lecture period.<br><br>Participation in an examination requires prior registration via&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hs-nordhausen.de\/en\/service\/studien-service-zentrum\/qispos\/\">QISPOS<\/a>&nbsp;(In the first semester, students are already compulsorily registered and remain registered for the following semester if they fail examinations in the first semester). Registration is the responsibility of the student and must be completed within a previously announced deadline (see&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hs-nordhausen.de\/en\/all-study-programmes\/semester-dates\/\">Semester dates<\/a>). Cancellation of an already registered examination is possible via QISPOS three working days before the examination date without giving reasons. If the examination is cancelled at a later date, the student must submit a medical certificate confirming the inability to take the examination.<br><br>In order to pass an examination, the examination or coursework must be graded at least 4.0. If an examination is not passed at the first attempt, the candidate has two further attempts. However, examinations that have been passed once may not be repeated.<br><br>When passing an examination, the candidate receives credit points according to the ECTS system in addition to the grade. The ECTS credits are a quantitative measure of the amount of time spent on the study modules. As a rule, 30 ECTS credits are allocated per semester. This corresponds to a workload of around 900 hours and therefore a 40-hour week.<br><br>In addition to the regular examinations of the degree programme, further modules are available as electives:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hs-nordhausen.de\/en\/all-study-programmes\/bachelor\/international-business-administration\/\">International Business Administration degree programme<\/a>&nbsp;a compulsory elective area 1 is planned, which provides for an English-language elective of two semester hours per week in the first four semesters. In the summer semester, a wide range of international projects with foreign guest lecturers are offered as part of the international project week. Each semester there is a country-specific course called \"cultural studies\"; in this course, students study the economy, politics, culture and other special features of a given country in detail.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences is characterised by the wide variety of Bachelor's degree programmes it offers. As a result, students can attend courses from the fields of technology, environment, computer science and social sciences on a voluntary basis. In this case, you can register for examinations directly at the Examinations Office.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In addition to the two compulsory specialisation subjects, students are free to complete further individual specialisation subjects or complete specialisation combinations. Examination registration is carried out regularly via QIS-POS.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What these additional modules have in common is that the grades received for them are not included in the overall calculation of the Bachelor's grades. However, they can be shown on the Bachelor's certificate upon application to the Examination Office. At the same time, you earn additional ECTS credits. This can be useful if a Master's degree programme is taken up after the Bachelor's degree. If the content of the additional modules and Master's subjects match, the examination credits can usually be recognised.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div
