Good to know
Examination Board for Mathematics
The Examination Board is responsible for all examinations in mathematical degree programs:
Chair: Prof. Dr. Johannes Müller
Deputy Chair: Prof. Dr. Tim Hoffmann
Secretary for the Bachelor program: Dr. Kathrin Ruf
Secretary for the Master programs: Dr. Michael Ritter
Secretary for the TopMath degree program: Dr. Carl-Friedrich Kreiner
In case of queries and requests (e.g. regarding missed examination registration deadlines or withdrawal from examinations) please contact the relevant secretary or write to: pa (at) ma.tum.de
What to do in case of illness?
Should you be prevented from taking part in an exam due to illness, you must see a doctor and get an official Medical Certificate for that day. Please keep this document in a safe place - should you fail to comply with the standard duration of your degree program, you may have to present this certificate as proof of having missed the exam for good reasons.
If you are not enrolled at the Mathematics Department of the TUM, please observe the guidelines in case of illness of your own department.
Transcript of Records (TOR)
A transcript (also called academic transcript or transcript of records) is an official document in English and German showing:
- A list of courses attended at TUM (lectures, seminars, etc.)
- Number of ECTS credits per course
- Grades earned
- Grading table
It is valid without signature and stamp. In the rare case you need a signed and stamped ToR, you can request a signed and stamped Transcript of Records (ToR) here: Student Service Center - Examination Office, Campus Garching, Boltzmannstr. 17, contact person: Hildegard Praegla.
Ranking
To request a ranking report, please send an e-mail to bachelor (at) ma.tum.de or master (at) ma.tum.de.
You should provide the following details:
- last name, first name
- matriculation number
- for Master's students: please specify which Master's program
- your preferred language for the report (English or German)
ATTENTION: If you have exceeded the standard duration of study, it is not possible to generate a ranking report.
Examination periods
The general examination periods for mathematics students at the Department of Mathematics are:
- First attempts: Usually within the first 3 weeks after the end of the lecture period as well as sometimes during the last week of the lecture period.
- Resit exams: Usually during the last two weeks before the start of the new lecture period as well as sometimes during the first week of the new lecture period (maybe suspended during congress week).
Please note that other departments (i.e. TUM School of Economics) may have a different examination timetables (i.e. resit exams in the next semester). This might affect the exams of your minor subject.
Credit transfer
Credit transfer for TUM modules
Master's students who have completed courses during their previous Bachelor's degree program at TUM that were not recorded on their graduation certificate can apply to have these credits recognized toward their Master’s degree program.
Advancing one to two semesters
If Master's students transfer more than 21 ECTS from their Bachelor's degree program or a previous Master’s program, they will advance one semester. If more than 51 ECTS have been transferred, they will advance two semesters.
Modules from other universities: Bachelor
If you are returning, for example, from a semester abroad, fill out the credit transfer request form and submit it via email along with the following documents to bachelor (at) ma.tum.de:
- Module description
- Transcript of Records
- Grade scale of the host institution
As soon as you receive an email confirming that the documents are ready to pick up, you take your documents and module descriptions (module catalog) to the module coordinator to obtain his or her signature or position statement on the matter. You then submit the signed documents once again to Heike Kudlich.
Modules from other universities: Master
After returning from the host institution, you must fill out a credit transfer request formand submit it via email along with the following documents to master (at) ma.tum.de:
- Transcript of Records
- Module description
- Grade scale of the host institution
- Proof from the host institution that the module is a Master's level module (e.g. with reference to the module description or a curriculum)
After your documents have been verified, an entry will be made in TUMonline acknowledging completion of the examination requirement (credits). Should an additional position statement from the module coordinator be required, you will be informed accordingly by email. Please note that a 1:1 recognition is only possible if you have not registered for the exam of the respective TUM module before.
Semester count after leave of absence
Should students have accrued more than 21 credits at another university (at home or abroad) during a leave of absence, and wish to have all of these count towards their Bachelor's or Master’s degree, they advance one semester.
Please note: Should you wish a certain portion of credits to count towards the Bachelor’s degree and another towards the Master's degree (e.g. of 30 credits in total, 10 towards the Master’s and 20 towards the Bachelor’s), you cannot be advanced a semester.
Extradisciplinary skills
Students acquire personal and social competencies, as well as skills concerning information, ideas, and methods, within the scope of our current extradisciplinary courses:
Bachelor's program
From the 3rd to the 6th semesters, students must verify that they have completed courses worth 6 ECTS.
Master’s program
During the Master's program, 4 ECTS are required (for the Mathematics in Data Science Master's program, 3 ECTS).
Please clarify any issues concerning recognition of these credits in advance with Heike Kudlich or Anja Hoffmann.
