(3) In addition, graded or ungraded examinations, which are specified in the respective module description, are required for successful participation in modules. 

(4) Credits are awarded and documented for each module if all requirements of the module according to paragraphs 1 to 3 are met. The number of credits that can be obtained in each module is announced in the MA Module Handbook. 

(5) Credits are calculated according to the expected workload of the students. The average full-time workload is 1,800 working hours per academic year: per academic year, 60 ECTS, i.e. 30 ECTS per semester. Therefore, a part-time study based on 30 ECTS per academic year should not exceed 15 ECTS per semester. The acquisition of an ECTS credit point is based on a workload of 30 hours.
