Notes for master's students with conditional admissions
For Master students who have not studied the Bachelor Biogeosciences in Jena, admissions to the Master's program in Biogeosciences may be granted under certain conditions.
These requirements are explicitly formulated in the admission notice and are to be understood to the effect that certain contents, which are of fundamental importance for the Master's program in Biogeosciences, were insufficiently represented or not represented at all in the Bachelor's program studied.
(Partial) modules from the bachelor's degree program in Biogeosciences are defined as requirements. These modules must be taken and passed parallel to the master's program. The required subjects are neither included in the credit points nor in the final grade of the master's program.
It is not possible to register for exams via Friedolin. Please register via the examination office of the Faculty of Chemical and Geosciences with the indication that you have received this module as a requirement for your Master's program in Biogeosciences.
