Deadlines SoSe 2025
Registration for coursework (e.g. compulsory submission of exercises, practical assignments, homework, seminars, project work, possibly also as a preliminary examination) must be made via unisono before the first (partial) assignment is submitted. Registration is activated in unisono from 01.10.2025 to 21.03.2026. As long as you are not registered for coursework, you cannot and may not submit any coursework! Please clarify any problems directly with the responsible chair. Please check the module descriptions (see below!) to see in which modules you have to complete coursework.
Registration for written examinations runs from 01.12.2025 until 14 days before the written examination (unisono calculates to the exact time!).
Please note that there are different deadlines for examinations in modules that are imported from other degree programs. Information on this can be found at the examination office of the exporting degree program.
