Course Information

For some study programs, you may encounter problems if you want to register for courses of the TCP Bachelor and Studium Oecologicum. This is because our course program on alma is not yet linked to all study programs. In this case, please directly contact our participation administration office via kursanmeldungspam prevention@tracs.uni-tuebingen.de.

Of course, you can still attend our courses and receive your credit points for them.

The time of registration is not relevant for the allocation of places. Places are allocated on alma after the end of the registration period on a random basis in combination with the following criteria: Study regulations of your subject (e.g.: mandatory module transdisciplinary competencies or "key qualifications") and number of subject-related semesters (higher semesters are usually prioritized). You can be admitted to a maximum of three courses per semester.

Please note that places will be automatically allocated on alma. Unfortunately, conflicting schedules of different courses will not be considered during this process.
The following codes will inform you about the status of your course registration on alma after the expiration of the registration period:

• „ZU“ (zugelassen): Only with this status you have a place.
• „angem.“ (angemeldet): This does not yet mean that you have been given a place in the course!
• „AB“ (abgelehnt): You have not been given a place.

During the registration period, you can cancel your registration for courses in alma if, for example, you have clicked the wrong button by mistake. After that, deregistrations are only possible in demonstrably urgent cases via email to kursanmeldungspam prevention@tracs.uni-tuebingen.de.

Please note that you will have to deregister for the corresponding exam separately.

The access data for alma will be sent to the address given to the student secretariat after enrollment. This letter contains your user ID at the computer center (ZDV) and the initial password.
The user name for alma corresponds to your user ID at the computer center (ZDV), which is also required for other services, such as student e-mail. It is not possible for you to change the user name.

The new course program for the lecture-free period and the lecture period will be announced approximately 4 weeks before the start of the 1^st course. The program is published in the university's alma system, on our website (above) and in our printed program booklet.

Usually, Bachelor students need 21 credit points (out of 180) for a 3-year Bachelor's program. However, there are deviations in the individual examination regulations from this rule, which is anchored in the "Statute for the Acquisition of Transdisciplinary Professional Field-Oriented Competencies". The exact number of points can be found in your exam regulations.
The number of modules/courses you have to take therefore depends on the number of credit points that have to be proven according to the corresponding exam regulations in this area.
As a rule, a transdisciplinary competence module (or "key qualifications") in the Transdisciplinary Course Program and Career Service section comprises between 1 (30 working hours) and 3 credit points (90 working hours).

The necessary requirements depend on the specific course. In any case, students are required to attend and actively participate in class. Additionally, there will be assignments like (short) presentations or term papers.

Yes, deregistrations must be send via e-mail to kursanmeldungspam prevention@tracs.uni-tuebingen.de. In case of deregistration on short notice due to sickness, we will need the medical note after 14 days at the latest.

Starting in the summer semester 2022, you will have to register for the exam on alma in addition to the course registration. That means for the majority of our courses, paper certificates will not be issued anymore. Instead the successful completion of a course will be put on record in the alma system. Please check immediately if you have to register for an exam after you have been admitted to a course. A detailed description of how to register for an exam on alma can be found here.

For some courses, i.e. those you cannot register for on alma, certificates of attendance (Schein) will still be issued. Currently, the certificates will only be send via e-mail; this includes the certificates from past semesters.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us by phone or via e-mail (kursanmeldungspam prevention@tracs.uni-tuebingen.de).

You will have to get active!

Please contact the Central Examinations Office after the semester ends for the correct crediting of your TCP courses on your transcript of records.

Make sure that you have earned the required number of credit points in the Transdisciplinary Competencies by the time you enter your second-last semester.

You can find the person in charge of your field of study on the website of the Central Examinations Office under the corresponding subsection.

All courses are regularly evaluated. The anonymous evaluation forms will then be analyzed by the TCP Bachelor with the help of the Center for Evaluation and Quality Management (ZEQ). In addition, we are happy to receive your praise and criticism by e-mail.

In general you can, if they meet certain verifiable preconditions. In this case, please come in for consultation and also bring certificates, descriptions or similar documents with you, which may serve as verification.

Designated courses from various providers are part of the overall Transdisciplinary Course Program Bachelor program at the University of Tübingen. Please find more information on our website on these courses.
