If your exam is not in the LSF, immediately contact the examination office (Ms. Krieger, bscplusmint(at)ps-mint.uni-saarland.de).

No. After the deadline is over you cannot register for the exam. In case that this is not your fault, please contact the examination office and proof that it is not your fault that you couldn't register in time (e.g. technical error).

The current list of specialization subjects can be found on the program website under the tab “main subjects” There you can also find the relevant contact persons and lecture guides.

In principle, it is possible to expand the list of major subjects, but this involves a great deal of bureaucratic effort. Please send requests to expand the list of major subjects to the study coordination office. (Carsten Baltes, carsten.baltes(at)uni-saarland.de).

A change of major is not possible according to either the examination regulations or the study regulations. However, if you are at risk of losing your examination entitlement in your chosen major (e.g., due to a final failure in a compulsory course), a change can be made. To make a change, please first contact the study coordinator (Carsten Baltes, carsten.baltes(at)uni-saarland.de). You can then apply to the examination board to change your major and, with their approval, notify the examination office of your change. 

The major subject must be chosen by the end of the second semester at the latest. To choose a major, please use the  following form (German) and send it, completed and signed, to Ms. Krieger at the Examination Office.

No, ECTS credits from certificates cannot be used for both the respective certificate and the Bachelor Plus MINT at the same time. If you have any questions or need clarification regarding individual courses, please contact the study coordination office or the examination office.

Volunteer work (e.g., in clubs) can be credited toward your degree in the form of ECTS credits. To determine the number of ECTS credits, please send a list of your activities with approximate weekly hours, as well as confirmation from your club (or similar organization) of how long you have been pursuing these activities, to the chair of the examination board. Please note that some specializations accept ECTS credits for volunteer work. If this is not the case, these ECTS credits will be booked as part of your free credits in the general elective area Bachelor Plus MINT. Please also note that, according to the framework examination regulations of Saarland University, no more than 6 ECTS credits per degree program can be awarded for volunteer work.
