Course certificates

Successful participation in the events required for the certificate must be evidenced by a corresponding certificate.
A differentiated marking of the achievements is possible on request. Normally, however, the certificates only document "successful participation".

If relevant language modules have already been taken in the Bachelor's programme, these will be recognised for PM 1.
Examinations taken as part of the regular Master's programme in a course that is also open to the programme will also be credited for the programme.
