Semesteranforderungen

Students take a written test during the exam period with the exam topics listed below. The result of the written test gives 80% of the final grade. 5 written exams are scheduled. Performance during the practices in the instruction period and the result of an oral practical exam held during the last two weeks of the instruction period account for 20% of the final grade.

Möglichkeiten zur Nachholung der Fehlzeiten

In case of more than 15% of absence from the practices (i.e. more than 2 practices) or more than 15% of absence from all contact hours (lectures and practices counted together) will result in refusal of signature and exclusion from the exam. In such cases students may apply for leniency to the course leader. If the absence exceeds 25%, signature will be automatically refused with no possibility for excuse.

We cannot make a difference between absences with and without acceptable reason.

If a student disturbs the contact hours or the work of the clinical ward, if his behaviour represents a health risk for patients, for groupmates or for himself, he can be excluded from the contact hour and considered to be absent.

An absence may be compensated by attending another group’s practice, which must be authenticated by the tutor (maximum 2 practices).
