Assesment and completion:

Examination performance is scored as follows: 10 (excellent); 9 (very good: above-average knowledge but with some mistakes); 8 (very good: solid results); 7 (good); 6 (adequate: knowledge satisfies minimum criteria); 5–1 (inadequate). In order to pass an examination, a candidate must achieve a grade between adequate (6) and excellent (10). 

Progress:

A condition for progression to the second year is the completion of at least 21 ECTS credits. The subjects taken must include Didactics of computer science I and Practical training for teaching computer science I. The above conditions for progression relate to the second-cycle two-subject teacher training programme Computer science for education. In order to progress to a higher year, students must also meet the conditions envisaged by the other selected two-subject study programme.
