To provide evidence for successful completion of modules in the corresponding language of the TWIN degree module, students need to provide a minimum level of examination:
- 40 ECTS for students starting in a TWIN degree programme before 1 Oct 2016
- 60 ECTS for students starting in a TWIN degree programme after 1 Oct 2016
Students of a TWIN degree programme can take exams in the other language of the corresponding module starting from their 1st semester. By registering for a specific examination, the student decides whether to participate in the German language format or in the English language format. The language chosen for the first attempt of passing the exam does not commit the student for the same language in any further attempts of examination (retakes or improvement of grade).
The internship will be assigned to one of both TWIN languages by the language of the written internship report. It doesn’t depend on the location of the internship or the language that is commonly used there.
Students can also perform courses and examined assignments in the other language beyond the corresponding TWIN degree programme, as far as these efforts can be credited against the compulsory modules of the respective TWIN degree programme.
