B.Sc./M.Sc. biology students and ALMA (new degree programs from winter semester 2024/25)
Concerns the Bachelor's degree programme BSc Biology (Examination regulations 2024) and the Master's degree programmes MSc Biodiversity Ecology and Evolution / MSc Cellular and Immunological Biosciences / MSc Microbiology and Infection Biology / MSc Neurobiology:
Since the winter semester 2024/25 there are new B.Sc. / M.Sc. biology courses and the exam registration takes place in ALMA. This also applies to Bachelor's students who have enrolled on the new Master's degree programs. For students of the new B.Sc./M.Sc. degree programs, registration for examinations in alma will be activated from 02.12.2024 at 10:00 a.m.
If you would like to take part in an exam, please make sure to register and note the examiners' announcements on the actual date. If you would like to take part in an examination, registration is mandatory. A service can only be booked if you have registered in alma. Further information can be found under Deadlines, Examination Registration & Bachelor's/Master's Thesis on the website of the Central Examinations Office, Natural Sciences and Mathematics.
B.Sc./M.Sc. biology students and ALMA (older degree programs)
Concerns the discontinued Bachelor's degree programme BSc Biologie (Examination regulations 2012) and the discontinued Master's degree programmes with German-language designation MSc Evolution & Ökologie, MSc Mikrobiologie, MSc Molekulare Zellbiologie & Immunologie, MSc Neurobiologie, MSc Zelluläre & molekulare Biologie der Pflanzen:
With the introduction of ALMA, nothing will change in the examination administration for B.Sc./M.Sc. biology students (expiring degree programs) who started their studies BEFORE the winter semester 2024/25, the grades (achievements) will continue to be managed in the special examination administration database of biology. For this reason, there is also no examination registration in ALMA and the examinations of B.Sc./M.Sc. biology students will therefore be taken as usual. Please enquire with the examiner.
