Boards of Examiners at the KU
Responsibilities of the Boards of Examiners
Each degree program has a Board of Examiners. The Board of Examiners is responsible for ensuring that the Bachelor’s or Master’s examinations are conducted properly. It is therefore responsible for all matters related to examination regulations within the degree program, as well as for processing student applications.
The responsibilities of the Boards of Examiners include the following:
- Processing requests for extensions regarding the completion time for Bachelor’s and Master's theses.
- Appointing second reviewers.
- Deciding whether a student may withdraw from a module exam for reasons beyond their control.
- Deciding on the validity of the reasons and the duration of an extension (e.g., extension of the maximum duration of study).
- Accreditation of skills.
- Admission of students to an examination if the student in question has intentionally obtained admission under false pretenses, as well as deciding on the possible exclusion of students from examinations,
- Decisions regarding whether a student has attempted to influence the outcome of an examination through deception for their own or another’s benefit.
- Decisions regarding deficiencies in the examination procedure.
- Decisions regarding additional entries in the diploma supplement.
- Decisions regarding the subsequent correction of module grades and the subsequent declaration—in whole or in part—that the Bachelor’s or Master’s examination has been “failed.”
- Cooperation with the Legal Department in appeal proceedings, which issues decisions on remedies and notifications of rejection.
- Decisions regarding submitted applications for adjustments to compensate for disabilities/impairments.
The members of the Board of Examiners are elected for a term of four years by the relevant Faculty Council of the faculty to which the program representative belongs. The Board of Examiners elects the chairperson and the chairperson’s deputy.
The legal basis for the composition and duties of the Boards of Examiners are the General Examination Regulations of the KU.
Interfaculty Board of Examiners
The Interfaculty Board of Examiners serves as the joint Board of Examiners for the KU’s Interdisciplinary Bachelor's degree program, the KU’s Interdisciplinary Master's degree program, and the teacher training programs for elementary school and secondary school (Mittelschule, Realschule and Gymnasium). More information on the Interfaculty Board of Examiners can be found here.
