Individual course addition - Universität Bielefeld

No. Without fulfilling the admission criteria, you will not be admitted to the admission procedure and cannot obtain a place at university. A subsequent qualification is not possible.

No, these modules belong to the application subjects and thus to the elective area. Possible combinations for the elective area:

• Application Subject A Basic with Application Subject A Specialisation or
• Subject A Basic with Subject B Basic

Admission is granted to applicants who meet the admission criteria of the Master's programme. These are defined in the subject-specific regulations.

In principle, yes, if you wish to acquire credits for your individual supplement to the core subject. However, the prerequisite for this is that places are available in the courses. You do not have a right to participate.

You can find all information under this link: Application and Enrolment - University Bielefeld

Forms for registering your thesis at the Examinations Office are available at

Forms- Bielefeld University

Please complete the thesis registration form on your PC if possible and submit it by e-mail.

Handwritten documents are also accepted. These can be submitted as a scan or sent by post.

Postal address
Universität Bielefeld
Fakultät für Psychologie und Sportwissenschaft
Prüfungsamt Psychologie
Postfach 10 01 31
D-33501 Bielefeld

After your registration has been processed, the thesis and the deadline for submission will be created in the examination administration. You will also receive a written confirmation with all information by post. The processing time may take 2 - 3 working days plus postage.
 

If you submit your thesis digitally, i.e. by e-mail attachment to the Psychology Examination Office, we require a copy bound with adhesive binding. Please submit your calculations (matrix, SPSS etc.) only directly to your supervisor.

If you do not submit your thesis digitally - only in printed form - we require three adhesive-bound copies. Please do not enclose any data carriers with the bound theses for the examination office (these may not be accepted by the examination office), but submit the corresponding data carrier separately directly to your supervisor if submission is required.

As a rule, the thesis should be assessed by the examiners of the Department of Psychology. In justified individual cases, this may be deviated from.

Before registering the thesis, an informal application must be submitted to the chairperson of the examination board via the examination office.

The application contains

• a brief description of the topic
• the reasons why the external supervisor should be chosen
• the confirmation of the external supervisor
• Proof of the external supervisor's qualifications (at least a Master's degree or diploma in psychology)
• Confirmation from the second supervisor that he/she will carry out the second internal evaluation.

The second examiner must be an examiner from the Department of Psychology.

When choosing a supervisor, please bear in mind that the university has no influence on the external supervisor. Therefore, if the supervision becomes problematic, you will be at a disadvantage.

The application is decided by the chairperson of the examination board.

• Confirmation from the supervisor that he/she approves of the external second supervisor.

The application will then be decided by the chairperson of the examination board.

In the examination regulations, the subject-specific regulations and the module information, you will find detailed explanations on the scope of a thesis.

A deviation from the specifications could be reflected in the grade. You should ask your supervisor about this.

The application for an extension of the deadline due to illness-related, medically certified inability to take the examination must be submitted to the Examinations Office immediately and in writing (also by e-mail to the Examinations Office, pruefungsamt-psychologie(at)uni-bielefeld.de) together with the relevant evidence. The form to be filled in by the doctor can be found here.

Immediately means "without culpable hesitation". This means that the application for an extension must normally reach the Examinations Office within three days (not working days) of the reason becoming known. If the evidence is not yet available through no fault of your own, this must be pointed out in the application for extension. They must then be submitted to the Examinations Office as soon as possible.

Simply sending the certificate of incapacity for work is not sufficient.

The chairperson of the examination board decides on the extension of the deadline. Your examiner will be informed of the changed submission date.

To apply for a disadvantage compensation - e.g. in the case of studying with a child, caring for relatives, leave of absence - please send an e-mail to the Examination Office pruefungsamt-psychologie(at)uni-bielefeld.de or arrange a meeting.

Your details will always be treated with absolute confidentiality.
