(4) With regard to the comparability of the study program, the determination of the specific
qualification and the attribution of competences when examining higher education degrees acquired
at foreign higher education institutions, the Commission (see Annex 2, section 3) decides on the
aptitude assessment procedure in accordance with Art. 63 Bavarian Higher Education Act.

§ 37
Modularization, module examination, courses, fields of study,
language of instruction
(1) 1General regulations on modules and courses are set out in Sections 6 and 8 APSO. 2In the case of
deviations from module definitions, § 12 (8) APSO applies.

(2) The curriculum with the compulsory modules is listed in Appendix 1.

(3) 1Students must choose from a catalog of specializations according to Annex 1, either four
specializations or three specializations with additional choice of a cross-sectional learning, i.e. an
individual study profile. 2One of the specializations is to be specified as a guide. 3The guidance must be
a topic from Appendix 1. The choice of the specialization subjects as well as the compulsory modules
within the cross-sectional learning are to be fixed by the end of the first semester and may only be
changed within the first semester.
4
A person in the chair (or subject area) who represents the subject (mentor or mentor) is responsible
for advising students on the preparation of their individual study profile. 5The subject matter of the
individual study profile is determined by the chosen specialization as well as the cross-sectional
learning, which can be chosen across faculties. 6The mentor, in coordination with the students, decides
which modules are compulsory modules if a cross-sectional examination is chosen. 7The prerequisite
for this is that the basic and supplementary courses in the Bachelor program of Civil Engineering at the
Technical University of Munich belong to a specialization subject, or similar achievements have been
successfully completed or these subjects are chosen as supplementary subjects. 8The subject
combinations are reviewed and deemed admissible if the choice of modules justifies a potential career
profiles. 9In the case of unusual combinations that are not included in the curriculum for the Civil
Engineering Master's program, students must give reasons in writing.

(4) 1Compulsory modules amounting to 12 credits and elective modules amounting to at least 6 credits
must be completed in each specialization. 2The elective modules must each be selected from a
specialist subject catalog of elective modules. 3The cross-sectional learning modules amounting to a
total of 21 credits must be completed. 4Also modules of 12 credits must be defined as compulsory
modules. 5Furthermore, students have to complete elective modules with a total of 9 credits (in the
case of a cross-sectional education) or 12 credits (in the case without cross-sectional proficiency) from
the general catalog of the Master of Civil Engineering elective modules. 6Furthermore, in addition to
the modules completed in the framework of the bachelor's program, students have to select graded
modules from the overall range of the Technical University of Munich amounting to at least 6 credits
(supplementary subjects).

(5) 1. By way of paragraph 3, individual stipulations must be made for students taking part in a
contractually agreed 1: 1 or double degree program. 2. The individual arrangements must be made in
collaboration with a mentor and the student advisory service and must be approved by the
Examination Board.

(6) 1In addition to the German-language modules, sufficient modules are offered in English. 2It is
therefore possible to study the master's program in English as well. 3If students have not proven their
proficiency in the German language, the admission states that at least one module must successfully
be taken by the end of the second semester, in which German language skills are acquired through
integration. The offer will be announced by the Audit Committee in the usual way. Voluntarily provided
extracurricular programs such as German language center language courses are also recognized.4. The
language of each compulsory module is indicated in Appendix 1.

§ 38
Examination deadlines, study progress review, missed deadline

(1) Examination deadlines, examination of the progress of the course and missed deadlines are
regulated in § 10 APSO.

(2) 1At least one of the module examinations listed in Appendix 1 or at least one compulsory module
examination chosen from the cross-sectional examination must be successfully completed by the end
of the second semester. 2If the deadline is exceeded, § 10 (5) APSO applies.

§ 39
Examination Board
The body responsible for decision-making in accordance with § 29 APSO is the Master Examination
Committee for Civil Engineering of the Faculty of Civil Geo-Environment.

§ 40
Crediting of study periods, study and examinations
(1) The crediting of study periods, study and examination achievements regulates § 16 APSO.

(2) Study and examination achievements under this master's program according to an individual
curriculum for a Double Degree program or a 1: 1 program are recognized without equivalence
assessment.

§ 41
Examination procedure, examination forms

examinations according to §§ 12 and 13 APSO are laboratory services, exercises (possibly certificates),
reports, project work, presentations, learning portfolios, scientific papers and examination courses.

a) 1A written exam is a written work performed under supervision with the aim of recognizing problems
in a limited time while using given methods and defined tools, and finding ways to solve them and
possibly applying them. 2The duration of written examinations is regulated in § 12 Abs. 7 APSO.

b) 1The exercise performance (if applicable certification) is the processing of given tasks (eg
mathematical problems, programming tasks, modeling etc.) with the aim of applying theoretical
contents to solve application-related problems. 2It serves to verify factual and detailed knowledge as
well as its application. 3The exercise performance can i.a. written, oral or electronic. 4Possible forms
include, for example, homework, exercise sheets, programming exercises, (E-) tests, tasks within the
framework of university internships, etc. 5The specific components of the respective exercise
performance and the competences to be examined are listed in the module description.

c) 1A report is a written preparation of a learning process with the aim to reflect what has been learned
in a structured way and to analyze the results in the context of a module. 2The report shall demonstrate
that the essential aspects have been understood and can be reported in writing. 3Possible reporting
forms include, for example, excursion reports, internship reports, work reports, etc. 4The written
report may be supplemented by a presentation in order to check the communicative competence in
presenting the content to an audience.

d) 1As part of project work, a project assignment, meant as a defined goal in a defined time and with
the use of suitable instruments, shall be completed in several phases (initiation, problem definition,
role allocation, brainstorming, criteria development, decision, execution, presentation, written
evaluation). 2In addition, a presentation may be part of the project work to review communicative
competence in presenting scientific topics to an audience. 3The specific components of the respective
project work and the competences to be examined are listed in the module description. 4The project
work is also possible in the form of group work. 5This is to prove that tasks can be solved in the team.
6
The contribution to be assessed as examination performance must be clearly identifiable and
assessable. 7This also applies to the individual contribution to the group result.

e) 1The scientific preparation is a written achievement, in which a challenging scientific and / or

scientific application-oriented question is worked on independently with the scientific methods of the
respective discipline. 2It is to be proven that a research question corresponding to the learning
outcomes of the respective module can be completely processed in compliance with the guidelines for
scientific work - from the analysis to the conception to the implementation. 3Possible forms which
differ in their respective claim level are e.g. Thesis paper, abstract, essay, study paper, term paper, etc.
4
The scientific work may be accompanied by a presentation and possibly a colloquium in order to
examine the communicative competence of presenting scientific topics to an audience. 5The specific
components of the respective scientific elaboration and the competences to be examined are listed in
the module description.

f) 1A presentation is a systematic, structured oral presentation visually supported by appropriate

media (such as beamers, slides, posters, videos) that illustrates and summarizes specific topics or
outcomes and reduces complex issues to their essential core. 2The purpose of the presentation is to
demonstrate to students that they can develop a specific topic in a specific time in such a way that it
can be presented to an audience in a vivid, clear and comprehensible manner. 3And it should also be
demonstrated that questions, suggestions or points of discussion of the audience can be dealt with
competently regarding the respective topic area. 4The presentation can be supplemented by a short-
written explanation. 5The presentation can be done as a single or group performance. 6The
contribution to be assessed as examination performance must be clearly identifiable and assessable.
7
This also applies to the individual contribution to the group result.

g) 1An oral examination is a time-limited examination on specific topics and specific questions to be
answered. 2In oral examinations, it should be proven that the qualification objectives documented in
the module descriptions have been achieved, that the correlations of the examination area have been
recognized and that special questions can be classified in these contexts. 3The oral exam can be
conducted as a single exam or as a group exam. 4The duration of the examination is regulated in § 13
Abs. 2 APSO.

h) 1Laboratory services include, depending on the discipline, experiments, measurements, field work,
field exercises, etc. with the aim of carrying out, evaluating and gaining insights. 2Component may be
e.g. be: the description of the processes and the respective theoretical basics including literature
studies, the preparation and practical implementation, any necessary calculations, their
documentation and evaluation as well as the interpretation of the results in terms of the findings to
be developed. The laboratory performance may be supplemented with a presentation to review the
communicative competence in presenting scientific topics to an audience. 4The specific components
of the respective laboratory performance and the competences to be examined are listed in the
module description.

i) 1A learning portfolio is a written representation of one's own work, selected according to previously
defined criteria, with which learning progress and performance level are to be demonstrated at a
specific point in time and in relation to a defined content. 2The selection of the work, its relation to
one's own learning progress and its significance for the achievement of the qualification goals must be
justified. 3The learning portfolio should demonstrate that responsibility for the learning process has
been taken and that the qualification objectives documented in the module description have been
achieved. 4Depending on the module description, components of successful self-learning controls of
the learning portfolio may include, in particular, work related to the application, web pages, weblogs,
bibliographies, analyzes, thesis papers, as well as graphical processing of a subject or a question. 5The
specific components of the respective learning portfolio and the competences to be examined are
listed in the module description.

j) 1In the context of an examination course, several examination elements must be completed within
one examination. 2The examination is, in contrast to a partial module examination, checked to be
organizationally (spatially or temporally) coherent. 3Exams are several different exam formats, which
in their entirety capture the full competency profile of the module. 4Examination elements may also
be forms of examination in accordance with (a) to (i). 5The total duration of the examination must be
stated in the module catalog. The form of examination and duration of examination of the individual
examination elements are to be specified in the module description.

1
5.1.1 The Commission shall assess, based on the written application dossier required by point 2.3,
that candidates are qualified to study in accordance with point 1 (first stage of the aptitude
test). 2The commission must evaluate the submitted documents on a scale of 0 to 100 points,
where 0 is the worst and 100 the best result to be achieved:

The following evaluation criteria are included:

1. Professional qualification
1
The curricular analysis is not carried out by a schematic comparison of the modules,
but on the basis of competences. 2It is based on the elementary subject groups listed
in the following table of the bachelor program Civil Engineering of the Technical
University of Munich.

 3
If it has been established that there are no significant differences in acquired
competences (learning outcomes), a maximum of 60 points will be awarded. 4 If this
value is not an integer, it will be rounded up to the next higher number. 5 Missing
competencies will be deducted according to the credits of the assigned modules of
the bachelor’s degree course in Civil Engineering at the Technical University of
Munich.

2. Mark / Grade
1
For each tenth grade that is better than 3.0 for the average of 135 credits, one point
will be awarded. 2The maximum number of points is 20. 3Negative points will not be
awarded. 4For foreign degrees, the grade converted using the Bavarian formula is used.
5
If a diploma with more than 135 credits is available at the time of application, the
assessment will be based on the best graded modules amounting to 135 credits. 6The
applicants must list these in the application form and assure them in writing that the
information provided is correct.
7
The average is calculated from graded module examinations amounting to 135
credits. 8The total grade cut is calculated as the weighted average grade of the
modules. 9The grades of the individual modules correspond to the assigned credits.

3. Motivation letter
1
The written justification is assessed by two commissioners on a scale of 0 to 20 points.
2
The content of the memorandum is evaluated according to the following criteria:

1. Can substantiate the choice of course of study,

2. Can present the relationship between personal interests and contents of the
program well structured,

3. Can convincingly substantiate the particular suitability for the master's course
through arguments and relevant extra-curricular activities and engagement (see
2.3.3),
4. Can linguistically emphasize key points of the statement of reasons.
3
The commissioners independently assess each of the four criteria, with equal
weighting of the criteria. 4The score is the arithmetic mean of the individual scores,
rounded up to full scores.
1
5.1.2 The number of points in the first level is the sum of the individual ratings. 2Insignificant
decimal places should be rounded up.
1
5.1.3 Those who have achieved at least 80 points, receives a confirmation of the passed aptitude
test.
5.1.4 1Suitable candidates with a total score of less than 70 points will receive a reasoned
and instructed refusal notice signed by the university management. 2The signature authority
can be delegated.

Applicants who have the right to compensation for disability, chronic or long-term illness,
upon request, deviate from 5.1.1 to 5.1.3, instead of a direct rejection, receive an invitation
 to the second stage of the aptitude test. 4The application must be accompanied by
appropriate evidence.

5.2 Second stage of the aptitude test

1
5.2.1 The remaining candidates will be invited to a selection interview. 2In the second stage of the
aptitude test, the qualification obtained in the first-degree course and the result of the
selection interview will be assessed. 3The appointment for the interview will be announced
at least one week in advance. 4Time window for any interviews that may have to be carried
out must be determined before the application deadline. 5The appointed date of the
interview must be observed by the applicants. 6Whoever is prevented from participating in
the selection interview for reasons beyond his or her control can, receive a late registration
at the latest two weeks before the start of the lecture.

1
5.2.2 The interview will be conducted individually for the candidates. 2The interview will last for a
minimum of 20 and a maximum of 30 minutes per applicant and will take place in English or
German. 3The content of the conversation covers the following topics:

1. Justification for the choice of the Master's program of Civil Engineering,

2. Explanations on the topic of the final thesis in the bachelor program,

3. Understanding of complex engineering contexts and questions on the basis of a sketch-like

representation of a solution for an exemplary problem,

4. Personal impression (after conversation).

4
The subject may also be the documents submitted after 2.3. 5Specialist knowledge, which
should only be taught in the Master's degree in Civil Engineering, is not decisive. 6With the
approval of the candidate, a member of the group of students may be admitted to the
audience.
