With the exception of elective subjects and third attempts, you are normally registered for the examinations in your semester. You can deregister from examinations at the Examinations Office up to two weeks before the examination. Individual regulations, e.g. on free attempts, also depend on your degree programme. Please read the examination regulations of your faculty and ask your examinations office!

The academic year is divided into two semesters:
Summer semester (1st March until 31st August)
Winter semester (1st September until 28th/29th February)

The lecture period (including exams) runs:
From mid-March until mid of July in the summer semester
from the end of September/beginning of October until the end of January in the winter semester.

You can find each semester's dates (in German) at https://www.th-brandenburg.de/hochschule/termine-veranstaltungen/rahmentermine/

Courses at Brandenburg University can be lectures, seminars and lab work. Some professors still prefer the format of a classic lecture. But many professors encourage a lively interaction and discussion between lecturer and students or use the project based learning format. So apart from taking notes don‘t be shy to ask questions or give an opinion or comment! There is also a lot of teamwork where groups of students work on a common project. Very often such projects are the basis of a final grade in this course. So active contribution is highly appreciated by group members and might be a chance to make friends as well. A single lecture usually takes 90 minutes, sometimes 180 minutes with a break. While attendance may not be compulsory in most courses, it is highly valued by the lecturers. Of course, you can always ask your lecturer for an individual consultation.

For example, at our Careers Service, at the THB Job Ticket or at the Studierendenwerk West:Brandenburg.
