MIEPP News

Dear MIEPP Students,

the day has come. Winter break is over (I hope you had a nice break) and you quickly have to come to terms with a new, grim and cold reality:

Exam registration starts today! (Bummer)

[Further topics farther down: Master colloquia and Internships]

First and foremost:

The Exam Registration Period starts today:

Monday, 08.01.2018, 1 p.m.

and lasts until:

Monday 22.01.2018, 1 p.m.

If you want to receive any credit for a course, sign up for the exams!

Following, you can find all the important information concerning the exam registration:

The Main Exams:

Since you can decide for yourself if you comprehend the exam relevant material, you can decide your first examination date and are required to register for exams yourself via Jogustine.

The registration for an exam is only possible if you have previously registered properly for the respective modules and courses and have also submitted the form of application for admission to the Master’s examination in International Economics and Public Policy.

The exam registration is only possible within the period mentioned above. The Registrar’s Office will not offer any subsequent registration once the registration period is over. Students who fail to meet the deadline must wait until the next main exam registration period. Additionally, you will not be able to register for any repeat exam if you have not registered for the main exams before.

Note that a subsequent registration through the Study Office is not possible, even if you submit a medical certificate, which confirms that you were ill during the registration period. Despite illness, you should be able to register for the exams since this can be done online from anywhere.

In case of technical problems during the registration via Jogustine, please immediately contact the Jogustine-Hotline or the Registrar’s Office within the registration period.

Please check within the deadline whether your registration has been successfully completed. If this is not the case, try again or contact us immediately.

The Repeat Exams:

As mentioned above, you will not be allowed to register for any repeat exam if you have not registered for the respective main exam, i.e. only students who have failed the main exam are allowed to participate in the respective repeat exam.

If you have missed an exam due to illness and were exempt by a doctor’s note, you will be automatically registered for the next exam by the Study Office. You are not required to do anything. (you can find the guidelines regarding illness attached to this email)

As a student of the master program, if you simply failed and were not sick, you are, free to decide whether you go through the repeat exam now or wait until the next repeat exam’s date (one semester or even one year). You will thus not be automatically registered for the next exam.

The registration period for the repeat exams starts 14 days prior to the repeat exam’s date and ends 7 days prior to the repeat exam’s date (The registration period for the repeat exams is just one week).

Secondly, on Wednesday, January 24, 2018, the following MIEPP research colloquia will take place at the chair of International Economics (Prof. Philipp Harms).

The research colloquia will take place in the room “00 341 HS VII”, Recht und Wirtschaft II:

While only members of the committee are allowed to actively participate in the discussion, all interested students are invited to attend the presentations.

Finally, the GIZ (German Association for International Coorperation) is offering an internship. The details are also attached to this email.

I hope you have a good start into the year regardless and good luck on your exams.

Sincerely,

Christoph Wirp
