Elective Course

1. MAP students obtain the permission to participate in the respective lecture and to take the exam (signature of the lecturer on the process and grading sheet). As there are so many options for the elective course, we are currently not in a position to offer our MAP students to register for the elective course on campo themselves. Since there is the possibility to attend lectures that are not part of the MAP program, registration via campo is not possible in some cases. Please contact the examiner with a request to manually register you for the examination in campo, or register in the list “Registration for Examination for Elective Courses” on StudOn in the section for your matriculation group and we will forward your registration to the Examinations Office. Keep in mind that your entry in StudOn is a binding registration for the exam. To ensure that you fulfill all the prerequisites for attending the course, ask the lecturer to give you a permit to attend on the routing slip at the beginning of the course.
2. You will take the examination for the elective course as described in the module handbook, that means no special exams for MAP students. Please be aware that for courses which are offered for different study programs at the same time, the lecture / exercises might be the same, but the exams might look different. In this case, you need to decide under which exam number you will participate in the exam and ask the MAP Office to add your name to the respective exam list on campo.
3. MAP “fundamentals” courses cannot be counted as elective course in the Additional Qualifications.

Miniproject (max. 6 months to work on)

1. The second miniproject can be started only after the first miniproject has been finished. MAP students are required to obtain a certificate that the first miniproject report has been submitted and fulfills the requirements (“4.0-Bescheinigung”).
2. Your supervisor inserts the starting day and title of the second miniproject and confirms by his / her signature and a stamp on the process and grading sheet.
3. Your supervisor inserts the day you submit your second miniproject report and confirms by his / her signature and a stamp on the process and grading sheet.

Soft Skills

1. As a rule, one soft skills course is offered per semester by the MAP office. Registration for these courses can be done via StudOn.
2. Special soft skills seminars offered by the MAP office are only offered if at least five MAP students participate.
3. The MAP office confirms successful participation in the soft skills seminars by signing and stamping the process and evaluation sheet.
4. Alternatively, the soft skills courses offered by the Faculty of Engineering can be chosen. The Faculty of Engineering offers various (English) seminars on job application, interview training, presentation and communication skills. Registration starts 4 weeks prior to the course; obligatory attendance once registered. Should you not be able to attend, cancel your participation as soon as possible!
5. Courses from the Virtuelle Hochschule Bayern (VHB) are usually also eligible. Please check with the MAP office in advance to see if a course is offered to see if the course can be credited as a soft skills course.

Internship

1. Minimal time: 12 weeks corresponding to a fulltime position or equivalent.
2. MAP students need to document participation via a certificate of the company. This certificate should at least include, where the internship took place, the period / time frame and the content of the internship. The MAP office will confirm the successful participation in the internship by signature and stamp on the process and grading sheet.

After completion of all modules of the additional qualifications, you need to hand in your process and grading sheet at the MAP Office. The MAP Office team will validate all modules and submit the information to the Examinations Office.

If you cannot finish the 30 ECTS points of the AQs, all passed modules will be checked and submitted to the Examinations Office by the MAP Office. These modules will appear on your final transcript of records.

If you fail one module of the AQs you do not fail the MAP Program. Any successful modules will be shown on your transcript of records as “additional modules”.

• When to take the elective course? The elective course can be taken during any of your study semesters.
• Deregistration from the elective course? You can deregister from your elective course during the usual deregistration period by informing your examiner. After having passed the exam once, you cannot deregister anymore. If you want to change your elective course after your first trial you can do so.
• Splitting of 5 ECTS? You can take two 2,5 ECTS courses. However, the transcript then may not exactly state the names of the two courses you have chosen.
• Which “Modulkatalog” counts? If an elective course is offered for different study programs, different “Modulkataloge” might be offered. In this case, the exams have different exam numbers. You choose the Modulkatalog that you want to be examined by. Be aware to select the exam / Modulkatalog that offers the needed ECTS points.
