First of all: Don’t be afraid to ask questions! To succeed in your studies, it’s important that you, as a student, are well-informed and well-connected. Especially at the start of your degree, the flood of information can feel a bit overwhelming. If you’re unsure about anything or need clarification, you should definitely make use of the contact details listed here at an early stage. It’s no problem to ask the same question more than once.

For general questions about your studies, talking to your fellow students is always the first and most important step. In Integrated Media, the student community is well connected. You should make the most of this network and keep it strong. Most questions can be sorted out this way.

For any further general questions about your studies, the Student council is always available to help. Via Instagram, the or in person, the members are happy to offer advice and support.

For examination matters (types of examination, procedures and registration) and questions regarding active participation, please contact your lecturers or the module coordinators in the first instance. Lecturers usually offer consultation hours, which we recommend you make use of.

Further examination matters can be made via the Examinations Office .

For specific matters relating to your studies, please contact the programme director is the right person to contact.

Questions regarding the area of specialisation can be directed to the programme coordinator for School III .

Cameras, microphones and other equipment can be hired from the sound studios and the artistic workshops.

• Sound studios for media music practice
• Performative Artistic Media Practice/Video
• Media laboratory
• Photography lab

Outside the Institute of Art and Visual Culture and the Institute of Music, the the University Library of the University and the AStA offer borrowing facilities.

Students are generally free to choose when to take a module. Only the seminar ‘Introduction to Media Analysis’ from the module inm740 – Media Analysis is a foundation course and should therefore, if possible, be taken in the first Master’s semester. The seminar is only offered in the winter semester and can therefore only be chosen in the 1st or 3rd semester.

Further information on the course structure and a link to the study plan can be found here.

As a rule, two module examinations must be taken in each of the six modules (only one module examination in inm760). Active participation by students is required for the successful completion of the modules or the individual components of the modules.

Active participation may include:

• Regular attendance
• Participation in the sessions
• Preparation for and follow-up on course material (e.g. minutes, assignments, preparation/reading of texts)
• Delivering talks, short talks, introductory talks, presentations, short presentations, etc.
  

The applicable criteria for active participation are determined at the start of the module’s teaching sessions in consultation with the students and lecturers. Lecturers decide whether the criteria for active participation have been met, in consultation with the module coordinators where necessary.
How active participation is documented (cumulative course result sheet, module result sheet, etc.) must be agreed with the lecturers!

Exam registration

You can access the exam registration system via Stud.IP: the ‘Study/Exam Administration’ tab takes you to the University of Oldenburg’s personal student portal. The exams are listed there alongside the relevant module and the name of the lecturer.

cumulative course result sheet

With one exception, cumulative course result sheets are no longer required for the Integrated Media degree programme. Examination results are registered and recorded via the university portal. Only active attendance at the lectures for inm750 must be certified via a cumulative course result sheet!

module result sheet

Module result sheets are also no longer required. Module result sheets are only used in the area of specialisation (e.g. in ipb611). The module result sheet can be found in the module description. The marking is recorded on the result sheets by the relevant lecturers and forwarded by the responsible module coordinators to the Examinations Office for credit transfer.


The module certificate may be used for any type of examination if online registration has not taken place or was not possible.

The cumulative course result sheets are available for download here.

According to the examination regulations, marking must be completed within 5 weeks of submission and should also be forwarded to the Examinations Office within this period. It may happen that the marking and assessment take longer. In this case, it is advisable to consult the lecturer concerned, particularly if grades are required for enrolment purposes or by the BAföG office. In most cases, any problems that arise can be resolved quickly and easily.

Grades are usually published directly via Stud.IP and can be viewed under Study/Examination Management → My Studies → Academic Performance. When a new grade is entered, students usually receive an email notifying them that a new grade has been recorded.

If a grade that should already have been entered does not appear in the academic record, it is advisable to briefly consult the relevant lecturers and module coordinators. If in doubt, contacting the Examinations Office directly can also help if the module coordinators are unable to assist.

The examination regulations also form the basis of the Integrated Media master's degree programme.
These can be be accessed .

Particular attention should be paid to the type of assessment to be undertaken in the respective modules.
For the inm710 module , two artistic and technical productions are compulsory, accompanied by a written report of no more than ten pages based on these. In the compulsory-elective modules inm720/inm730, one of the two assessments must be a seminar paper; in the module inm740, a seminar paper is compulsory . Successful completion of the inm750 module requires, in addition to an examination of the student’s choice, the delivery of a presentation followed by a written report. The inm760 module has a special feature : only one examination is required for this module. This consists ofa scholarly-artistic project.

The professional development module is covered in a separate section of the FAQs, as it can be customised individually and may require consultation with those responsible for the module.

In order to write the Master’s thesis , it is necessary to attend an accompanying course, such as a colloquium.

The focus of the master's degree programme is determined by the courses taken from the modules inm720 and inm730. If two courses from the inm720 module and one from the inm730 module are taken, this results in the visual specialisation. If the auditory focus is aimed for, two courses from the module inm730 and one from the module inm720 must be taken.
It should also be noted that both examinations must be taken in the respective specialisation module. Accordingly, the auditory specialisation requires two examinations from the inm730 module; for the visual specialisation, both examinations must be from courses in the inm720 module.

The professionalisation component, also known as the ‘Free Module’, does not require students to attend any specific courses or sit any particular types of examination. Students are therefore free to undertake internships, enrol on additional courses or, for example, have examinations from other degree programmes recognised for credit.
Although there is a great deal of flexibility within this module, it is nevertheless advisable to discuss your planned course of action regarding the Professionalisation Module with the programme coordinators at School 3. Both Antje Beckmann and Nicole Griese hold regular office hours for this purpose and can also be contacted at the following email address:

The current module coordinators can always be found in the latest module handbook or the module overview on the Stud.IP platform! We endeavour to update this list regularly, but we would nevertheless ask you to carry out your own research.

Events that have been attended in addition to the compulsory seminars and lectures within the degree programme can be certified on an unofficial cumulative course result sheet by those responsible for the degree programme. This can be used by future employers, for example, as proof of additional commitment during the degree programme. A template in Word format can be found here.
