Registration for courses and examinations

You can find the record of examinations in u:space under the tab “Studies”. It is organised according to the structure of your curriculum.

This way, you can see at a glance which courses you have already completed, which achievements you have to complete next and what requirements you have to fulfil for them.

Attention: Please always check the curriculum of your degree programme. The record of examinations in u:space supports you in planning, but you have to select the correct study plan point yourself on the basis of your curriculum when registering for the course or exam.

Search for modules for which you still have to complete courses (red and orange traffic light symbol) in your record of examinations in u:space. After that with the help of the record of examinations and by looking at your curriculum, determine for which curriculum point (module) you are still missing a course / exam.

To find out which courses you can attend for the curriculum point you have not yet completed, either click on "Select courses and exams in u:find" at the book icon or search directly in the Course Directory u:find for courses suitable for the curriculum point.

Click on the courses available for completing the selected achievement in the Course Directory u:find. You will get detailed information about the course type, number of ECTS credits, registration and de-registration periods, course dates, contents, Moodle, lecturers, etc.

If you click on “Register/Deregister for this course” you will be automatically forwarded to u:space where you can complete your registration.

You can only register for courses within the relevant registration period. Certain courses may have a limited number of study places. As long as you register within the relevant registration period, the exact moment of your registration has no influence on the allocation of study places (no “first come, first served” principle).

If you have any questions about registration periods or the available number of study places, please contact the studies service center/studies service unit of your degree programme.
