elective Courses, additional courses

    „Elective Courses Materials Science“ (29 CP)
−   prepare your personal program, discuss it with your mentor, best right away (now!)
−   may also include Materials Science related courses outside the department
−     (physics, chemistry, mech. eng., electr. eng., master course „Energy Science and Engineering“…)
−   incl. adjustment course „Concepts in Materials Physics“, if applicable (CPs count towards degree!)
−   does not include other obligations/Auflagen
−   give personal list of modules with mentor‘s signature to study office
−   only graded modules! ungraded (pass/fail) is not acceptable!
    „Elective Courses (not Materials Science)“ (9 CP)
− choose for yourself or discuss with mentor
− few courses in English language at TU Darmstadt
− list of already approved courses: see pdf file on Master page and „2. Fachübergreifende
  Wahlpflichtfächer“ and „3. Ergänzendes oder fachübergreifendes Wahlpflichtfach (passend für
  beide Kategorien)“ in list „bereits genehmigte Wahlpflichtveranstaltungen“ on Bachelor homepage
− may also be from natural sciences or engineering, but only if not Materials Science related
− for other than already approved choices: if uncertain get approvement from PD Dr. B. Kastening
− English language courses only if they extend beyond admission level for Master course
− graded or ungraded (pass/fail) modules: grade does not count towards GPA
    „Additional courses:“ ad libitum
Course of Studies Materials Science - with degree
exams: FP and SL

•   FP = Fachprüfung:
    −       Graded Exam (oral or written) with only three attempts
    −       After failing twice in same exam, talk to your mentor!
    −       If you and teacher agree: third attempt of written exam may be taken as oral exam
    −       Once during Master course, oral last-chance attempt possible after three failed written
            attempts

•   SL, SLb = Studienleistung (SL: pass/fail, SLb: graded):
    − ungraded study achievement without limitations on number of attempts
    − in Materials Science:
        −    concerns Labs, Seminars
        −    automatically registered for „exams“
              (Lab: successfully carrying out all experiments;
              Seminar: Successful seminar talk and seminar participation)
•   Master thesis:
    − two attempts
    − once: possibility to return subject without failed attempt latest after 8 weeks
exams continued

written exams:
 Register in time (generally mid-November-mid-December, will be announced
 in TUCaN; for exams in Materials Science: until 8 days before exam)
 Changed your mind? Deregister at least 8 days before exam!

oral exams:
 Also register in above time frame, but arrange for appointment yourself!
 „Elective Courses Materials Science:“ try to bundle 2 (up to 3) exams with
 similar subjects and make appointment with respective lecturers

if sick:
 If you are sick and it is too late for deregistering:
 Get physician‘s certificate that you were „unable to participate in an exam“
 (not „unable to work“!) and give to students‘ office within three calendar
 days of exam
TUCaN = central system for organization of studies and teaching
• with TUCaN register to modules, courses therein und exams
• with TUCaN check your grades

important: activate your TU-ID (see letter with student id card)
           configure your Email address in TUCaN

How to obtain information about TUCaN:
1. www.info.tucan.tu-darmstadt.de/tucan/start/index.en.jsp
2. Fachschaft (= student rep. within mat. sci., mostly bachelor students)

Functional Materials

New BSc and MSc study regulations in WS 2015/16:

− „Functional Materials“ switched from the Bachelor to the Master course.

− „Materials Engineering“switched from the Master to the Bachelor course (now called
  „Werkstoffherstellung und -verarbeitung“ in the Bachelor course).

Consequences:

− Bachelor graduates in Materials Science of TU Darmstadt are not allowed to take
  „Functional Materials“ for credit. Choose an elective course instead.
  Encouraged option: „Werkstoffherstellung und –verarbeitung“

- „Functional Materials“ in English will only be offered starting in WS 16/17
 - External incoming students (except FAME) please take „Functional Materials“ in their third semester.
 - FAME students will receive instead credits for their achievements at Grenoble
Mat.Sci.Modules not in Module Guide

Modules „Elective Courses Materials Science“ in TUCaN that are not part of the module
guide, e.g. since not regularly offered.
Examples in WS 15/16:
