You can choose any number of lectures independent of each other. Credits are earned by passing the respective exams. Registration periods for each exam can be found in the course catalogue when you click on the respective course. The above-mentioned exams are offered every semester. We do not offer follow-up exams within the same semester.
Exams that cover the subject matter of 2 partial lectures can only be taken as a joint exam. There are no separate exams for partial lectures of a module.
1Psychology students must participate in the double examination (8 ECTS). Exceptions are only made in case of prior recognition of a partial exam (e.g. previous performance at another university, previous studies).
Non-psychology students write
- either the written partial exam of the lecture "Introduction to Developmental and Educational Psychology" (4 ECTS)
- or the joint exam that covers both lectures (8 ECTS).
Please note: ECTS deviating from this cannot be awarded or certified. Non-psychology students may arrange to have their performance recognised with a different amount of ECTS in consultation with their respective departments. This does not require the approval of the Psychology Department.
2The module Perception and Cognition is an exception that allows you to write either the joint exam (8 ECTS) or one partial exam (Perception or Cognition with 4 ECTS). It is not possible to write 2 partial exams!
3The partial exam Developmental Psychology 1 can be written by students from other disciplines as a separate part of the joint exam "Developmental Psychology 1 and 2". The partial exam is rewarded with 4 ECTS. When registering, please make sure that you register for the partial exam (not the joint exam).
4The exam can be written by students from other disciplines as a separate part of the joint exam "Psychology of Health". When registering, please make sure that you register for the partial exam (not the joint exam).

How do I generate a TAN list?
For exam registration in ZEuS with the TAN procedure from December 2019, you can choose between the following two methods to obtain a list of valid TANs. These enable both the generation of an initial TAN list and the generation of all further TAN lists.
- Choose the way via ZEuS, where you will find a document with the authorization to generate TAN lists in your personal area (after logging in) under the menu item My studies → Student services → Certificates tab, in order to subsequently generate your (initial) TAN list in ZEuS.
- If you do not have a PC with a printer available, the self-service (SB) terminal in the Student Service Center (SSZ) is available as an alternative option, where you can print out a TAN list.
Here you will find detailed instructions from the ZEuS team.
