Framework Specifications

In 2014, the Senate adopted model exam regulations for Bachelor’s and Master’s programmes in which the previous regulations have been harmonised with regard to quality assurance. The regulations and supplementary provisions contain clear rules on responsibilities, on the modularisation of study programmes, on exams and examination procedures, on questions of recognition and on dissertations. The model exam regulations take into account external requirements of the state of Lower Saxony, the Conference of Culture Ministers and the Accreditation Council.

The model exam regulations, as well as the coordinated procedures and consultation processes in the adoption and amendment of regulations ensure that quality standards and binding overall specifications are upheld.

Department 6, subject area academic examination office and Department 2, subject area law, have special responsibility for consulting on the creation of regulations and checking their compatibility with university-wide framework specifications.

Recognition Further university-wide framework specifications relate to the recognition of study and exam performance and the accreditation of competencies gained in the course of work, which are regulated in each case by suitable guiding frameworks.

This sets goals for internationalisation in study and teaching by, for example, offering courses taught in English, offering international study programmes and ensuring international mobility for students

With its equality and diversity management principles, Leibniz University has set goals to achieve equal conditions of access to university education and during the course of study for its increasingly heterogeneous student population.
