Applicability of the academic and examination regulations
The academic and examination regulations for programmes at the Carolus Magnus University (CMU) stipulate the general process regulations applicable to all examinations held at the CMU as well as general curriculum information.
The subject examination regulations (SER) stipulate the programme specific requirements for admission to examinations, the examination requirements and the course of studies. In particular, the regulations must provide the following information:
• eligibility requirements for individual programmes;
• list of modules to be attended (curriculum);
• examination subjects and requirements;
• requirements for admission to examinations, how to achieve the admission requirements, and the possibility to repeat the admission process;
• standard dates for the final examination and the continuous course assessment;
• number of semesters of study after which the final examination may as a rule be completed (standard period of study) and number of necessary courses;
• type of examination.
In the event that a provision contained in the SER for programmes is not in conformity with the academic and examination regulations, they shall prevail.
Objectives of the Programmes
The programmes allow students to develop areas needed for growth in their profession. Since each student's area of work is unique based on the company, position, or industry they work in, the objectives for the courses taken also allow for modification and individualisation.
Studies leading to a specific degree are designed to give the candidate thorough and comprehensive knowledge of his or her professional field, as well as training in data interpretation and analytical skills.
One of the key goals for the programmes at CMU is to give students the tools and confidence to carry out self education. These skills are indispensable as they allow students to adapt to their ever changing environment or situation without depending necessarily on a higher education institution.
The criteria for granting the degree shall be the candidate's comprehension of the subject matter and a demonstrated ability to perform independent basic research. In addition, the candidate must have the ability to express thoughts clearly, both verbally and in written form.
The programmes aims to develop an understanding of your field beyond the textbook to integrate theories into practical real world applications.
Purpose of the examinations
The fundamentals examination, to the extent stipulated in the pertinent SER, is designed to assess whether or not the student has the basic knowledge of the discipline and is qualified for the academic programme.
Successful completion of the examinations provides a professional qualification. The purpose of the examinations is to ascertain, whether the student has mastered the fundamental scientific principles of the discipline, acquired methodological competence and primary professional qualifications and is prepared for an early entry into the profession.
Academic titles
Upon successful completion of the examinations the academic degrees
• B. A. ("Bachelor of Business Administration" – for the study programme "Business Administration")
• M. A. ("Master of Security Studies" – for the study programme "Security Studies")
• M. A. ("Master of European Studies" – for the study programme "European Studies")
• MBA ("Master of Business Administration" – for the study programme "General Management")
• Ph. D. ("Philosophiae Doctor" – for the study programme "Social and Economic Sciences")
are awarded in accordance with the specific SER.
The academic title may be used with the name of the Carolus Magnus University to allow identification with the CMU and its quality standards.

Academic Counselling
Academic counselling is the responsibility of the entity to which the programme in question belongs. Students are advised to make use of academic counselling services particularly in the event of
• failed examinations;
• change of academic programme;
• transfer to the CMU from another institution.
Admission requirements
Preconditions for the students enrolling in a Bachelors programme of CMU is the completion of an internationally accepted secondary school education, or a respective secondary school equivalent. If the secondary education (including university preparatory education) was 6 years, an immediate admission is possible. In case of a senior general secondary education which took 5 years, the examination committee of the university will examine, whether the respective secondary school diploma is an internationally accepted equivalent. This examination will base upon the transcript of records of the secondary school diploma. If such a transcript isn't usually handed out by the secondary school, the applicant has to bring a similar document from the school.
Preconditions for the students' enrolling in a Masters programme of CMU is the completion of a Bachelor´s programme or an equivalent (i.e. "diploma").
Preconditions for the students' enrolling in the Doctoral programme of CMU is the completion of a Master´s programme or an equivalent.
Anyway, each application will be subject of a detailed single examination.
Admission procedure
Students who wish to enrol one of the programmes offered by CMU need a certificate which confirms their ability to understand and to speak English at the level "Business English". Evidence of language proficiency is required. Further applicants have to show a leaving certificate of the secondary school. They have to complete an application form which can be done in writing or online on the website of CMU.
As a next step, the student gets a prescription of tuition fees. As soon as the payment was effected, the student gets a user name and a pin code to enter the website of CMU. He/she can choose online learning or if wished the teaching materials (e.g. scripts/readers) can be sent to his/her address. Each term the students obtain all necessary information to be able to pass the examinations which are oral and by writing. Further, the students can choose where they wish to attend a campus.
If all scheduled exams were successfully passed, new prescriptions of tuition fees for the next term are issued. At the end of the study the successful student shall obtain a diploma confirming his or her completed programme and be able to enrol further programmes.
For the Bachelors programme the following documents are submitted:
• secondary school diploma, or secondary school equivalent;

The admission is conducted by the registration office of the CMU. Exceed the number of applicants the available places at the university, the admission committee decides on skill and performance with respect to the academic admission requirements. Selection interviews may take place if deemed necessary.
Structure of study and required coursework
A normal bachelor study takes at least six terms (semesters) and consists of five modules each term, each module representing 6 ECTS points, these are in total 180 ECTS points. A normal master study takes at least three terms (semesters) and consists of five modules each term, each module representing 6 ECTS points, these are in total 90 ECTS points. The doctoral programme takes at least six terms (semesters) and consists of three modules each term, representing in total 30 ECTS points, these are in total 180 ECTS points.
One year full time study equals to 60 ECTS which means a workload of 1800 working hours of the student. The programmes are offered in the form of learning courses that involves hybrid forms of distance learning/online courses. The courses are offered as distance learning by teaching materials, which are sent by the post or can be received online.
Tutorship
At the beginning of the study as a part of the enrolment, every student a tutor is allocated to, who is in constant contact with the student via electronic mail. At every stage of preparation the student can refer to the tutor for an evaluation of his/her work. The tutors belong to the teaching staff. More than 75% of the teaching staff has a relevant postgraduate degree. The majority of the faculty holds a doctorate.
Quality assurance and evaluation
A good system of quality assurance that shall be checked, updated and improved in a cycle of periods ensures that the graduates have acquired the knowledge, skills and attitude that are set down as the learning outcomes of the programme concerned. That means that the quality of the offered courses and the performance are periodically evaluated.
This evaluation comprises the following elements:
• after finishing a module the students are evaluating the lecturer concerning the quality of contents and teaching;
• after the lecturer has received the results oft the students evaluation, he/she does a comprehensive analysis of the feedback and conducts a self assessment;
• this self assessment is subject of a regular meeting with the management of the university to find out possible improvement of the teaching quality;
• these meetings will be held every semester.
Tuition Fees
Payment is required at the time of registration. Student's registration is not finalised until payment is received. Students cannot participate in class if registration is not finalised. It is the student's responsibility to make sure that the registration is finalised.
Tuition fees for the Bachelors programme amount to 1.000 EUR per semester.
Tuition fees for the Masters programmes amount to 1.500 EUR per semester.
Tuition fees for the Doctoral programme amount to 1.800 EUR per semester.
Tuition fees are payable by the student or are to be paid by a third party, on behalf of the student, provided that the student agrees to this in writing; this without prejudice to the payment obligation of the student.
Payment of tuition fees has to be conducted via bank transfer to the account number provided by the CMU.
The tuition fees must be paid within one month after the date of signing the enrolment form, unless specified otherwise in writing by the enrolment office at the time of enrolment. This due date serves as a strict deadline.
Enrolment of the student at the institution will not take place until after the tuition fees have been paid in accordance with these provisions.
In case of failure to pay the tuition fees, or of late or incomplete payment, or if they cannot be collected:
• the university is authorised, in case of direct debit, to collect the noncollected instalments with the direct debit of the next instalment;
• the university is authorised, to require lump sum payment both for the outstanding tuition or examination fees, as well as for the payment of tuition or examination fees for a subsequent academic year.
In case of failure to pay or of late or incomplete payment of tuition or examination fees for the current or a previous academic year, the university may:
• exclude the student from further participation in the educational process and from use of the facilities of the institution or terminate the enrolment, without prejudice to the obligation of the student to pay the tuition or examination fees due;
• refuse future enrolment of the student or
• refuse issue of a certificate to the student.
Commencement of studies
Commencement of studies for programmes at the CMU is in principle only possible during the winter semester. Students who have obtained credits in the same, a related or another programme which count towards the desired degree, and who are admitted to an advanced subject semester (lateral students) may, in derogation of, commence in the summer semester. In such a case the student has to adjust the curriculum accordingly.
Modular structure
Studies are organised into modules. A module consists of one or several thematically linked and synchronised courses. Modules may consist of several forms of teaching and learning. A module should be designed to enable a student to finish the module, as a rule, within one semester. A module content and organisation are determined by the university. Any regulations regarding examinations must be coordinated with the examination board.
A study programme consists of required modules. Required modules must be taken by all students and the pertinent examinations as specified in the module descriptions must be successfully completed.
Credits for modules must be whole numbers. Modules may comprise 2 to 10 credits. For the preparation of the Thesis 24 credits shall be allocated. For the preparation of the Ph. D. Thesis 60 credits shall be allocated.
Module examinations
As a rule, a module is completed with an examination specified in the respective module description. Details, in particular number, type and content of the examinations and their weighting for the module grade, are determined by the module description, and the examiners in coordination with the examination board and shall be announced to the students in due form no later than four weeks before the beginning of classes of the respective term.
ECTS
The examination to be completed is calculated on the basis of student workload for a given module measured in credits and the accumulation of credits pursuant to the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS). The award of credits requires the successful completion of modules. Credits cannot be awarded for mere attendance; they require successful proof of completion of a module examination. Credits are a quantitative measurement of a student's total workload. One credit reflects a workload of 30 hours. As a rule 30 credits are awarded each semester.
Standard periods of study
The standard period of study for completing the Bachelors Degree at the CMU is six semesters. The standard period of study for completing the Masters Degree at the CMU is three semesters. The standard period of study for completing the Doctors Degree at the CMU is six semesters. The number of credits required for successful completion of the Bachelors programme is 180 credits. The number of credits required for successful completion of a Masters programme is 90 credits. The number of credits required for successful completion of the Doctoral programme is 180 credits. An SER may provide that the individual semester curriculum must be approved by the mentor in charge in cooperation with the examination board. The mentor's duties shall be stipulated in the SER.
Progress monitoring and time limit
Examinations (i.e. seminar papers) should be completed in time for the student to achieve the number of credits stipulated for the examinations in the SER by the end of the standard period of study. For compliance with the standard period of study students should achieve 30 credits per semester. Students should pursue their studies in a goal oriented way and complete all required examinations of the subject semester. It is expected that students, in compliance with the pertinent selection provisions, achieve a minimum of 20 credits per semester. Progress is monitored each semester. Students who fall below the number of credits per semester by at least 15 credits will receive a warning. Students will be appropriately informed of further details by the university; in particular, the SER may provide that students concerned will be invited to a counselling interview.
In the programmes, a certain number of examinations relating to the basics of the pertinent discipline must be taken by the end of the second semester.
III. Type of Module Examination
Type and Date of the Examination
In general, three types of examinations are possible: written tests, written seminar papers and contributions within the online platform.
The deadline for the seminar papers and contributions within the online platform is stipulated by the responsible lecturer of the module.
The individual SER may stipulate that examinations are taken in a foreign language. Further, the SER may provide that, upon a student's request, the examination may be taken in a foreign language.
Periods of study, coursework and examination results spent at/acquired from universities or equivalent institutions of higher education abroad will as a rule be recognised by the relevant examination board unless they are not equivalent.
The SER set forth the provisions for the recognition of examination results, in particular the maximum number of credits which may be recognised. The major part of the subject related programmes must be completed at the CMU. The SER may stipulate different provisions for university collaborations and double degree programmes.
The students must submit the documentation required for the recognition of credits. An application for recognition of examination results from earlier programmes of study may be filed with the examination board only once within the first study year at the CMU.
The transcript of records includes grades for examinations recognised from earlier programmes; these grades count towards the overall grade if they have been calculated in accordance with the same grading system applied at the CMU. It is admissible to identify those grades in the transcript of records.
Tests and seminar papers
A written test is an examination raising questions on a subject or a problem. The knowledge required must have been made available in one or several previous modules.
A seminar paper is a written elaboration of a subject or a problem. The knowledge required for elaborating on the subject must have been made available in one or several previous modules. A seminar paper may be set by any lecturer in any such previous module. When submitting the seminar paper, the candidate must confirm in writing that he or she has completed the seminar paper on his or her own, that no other sources and media than the ones mentioned were used and that quotations are identified as such.
Grading
Tests and seminar papers completed individually by a student may be graded. The student's grades in each individual performance are expressed by the examiner according to the following scale:
• Grade 1, "very good" = excellent performance;
• Grade 2, "good" = performance well above average;
• Grade 3, "satisfactory" = average performance;
• Grade 4, "sufficient" = performance meets the standards in spite of deficiencies;
• Grade 5, "fail" = performance does not meet the standards because of substantial deficiencies.
If an examination is to be graded by several examiners, an averaged grade has to be defined. The averaged grades will have only one decimal place, all further decimal places will be disregarded without rounding.
For the purpose of a more differentiated assessment, the above grades may be raised or lowered by 0.3; the grades 0.7 and 5.3 are not possible.
The module grades are:
• up to 1.5: "very good";
• 1.6 to 2.5: "good";
• 2.6 to 3.5: "satisfactory";
• 3.6 to 4.0: "sufficient";
• from 4.1: "fail".
The overall grade will be calculated as the weighted grade of all modules including the respective thesis. The grade weights of the individual modules correspond to the credits awarded.
The rating is based on the overall average and the passing categories correspond to the following scale:
• overall grade up to 1.2 "passed with high distinction" = outstanding performance;
• overall grade 1.3 to 1.5 "passed with distinction" = particularly commendable performance;
• overall grade 1.6 to 2.5 "passed with merit" = aboveaverage performance;
• overall grade 2.6 to 3.5 "passed" = average performance in all aspects;
• overall grade 3.6 to 4.0 "conceded pass" = average performance except for a few defects.
In addition to the grades pursuant mentioned, special grades are awarded for module examinations and for the final examination:
• Grade A = best 10% of all students who successfully passed the examination;
• Grade B = next 25%;
• Grade C = next 30%;
• Grade D = next 25%;
• Grade E = next 10%.
Where no sufficient statistical data are available for the calculation of a relative grade for the programme in question, the following grading scale will be used until the necessary database has been compiled:
• to 1.5 = Grade A = "excellent";
• 1.6 to 2.0 = Grade B = "very good";
• 2.1 to 3.0 = Grade C = "good";
• 3.1 to 3.5 = Grade D = "satisfactory";
• 3.6 to 4.0 = Grade E = "sufficient";
• 4.1 to 5.0 = Grade F = "fail".
Final thesis
The final thesis forms part of the final examination administered at the end of the respective module. This module may, in addition, require a final colloquium or content related courses consisting of appropriate forms of teaching and learning. Until completion and submission of the final thesis students must be enrolled in the respective programme at the CMU. The final thesis will be the Bachelors thesis in the Bachelors programme, the Masters thesis in the Masters programmes and the Ph. D. thesis in the Doctoral programme.
The final thesis is designed to determine whether or not the student has the ability to work independently according to academic principles. If the topic is suitable, except the Doctoral thesis, a group project may be accepted, if a student´s contribution to the project may be individually evaluated and allocated to each student. The allocation shall be on the basis of objective criteria allowing a clear differentiation, for example through identification of chapters, page numbers or content related focus. Topics shall be chosen in a way that students may complete the project within the scheduled time limit.
The time of assignment of the final thesis is provided for in the respective SER.
The final thesis may be assigned and supervised by any expert examiner of the CMU. The chairperson of the examination board shall assign the final thesis. Upon approval of the chairperson of the examination board, the final thesis may be prepared at an institution other than the university provided that it can be supervised by an examiner of the CMU.
Where a student has tried in vain to obtain a topic for his/her final thesis within the stipulated time period, the chairperson of the examination board shall, upon request, ensure that the student is assigned a topic.
The time limit for writing and submitting the final thesis to the examination board is stipulated in the respective SER. If, for reasons beyond a student's control, he/she is prevented from submitting the thesis within the first time limit, the examination board will extend the period for writing the thesis by a maximum of half that period provided that the student applied for an extension prior to the first time limit and obtained the supervisor's approval. If a student is able to prove, by a medical certificate (attest, testimonial), that he/she is prevented from writing the thesis due to illness, the time limit will be suspended.
A student may decline the topic of a thesis, within the first third of the period for writing the thesis, only once and only for conclusive reasons, subject to the approval of the examination board. When repeating a thesis project a student may decline a topic only if he/she has not made use of this option before.
The final thesis may be written in the English language. The examination board may permit that the thesis be written in a language other than English, if it can be guaranteed. that there will be expert assessment of the thesis in that other language.
When submitting the thesis the student must confirm in writing that the thesis represents his/her own work and that no other sources and/or resources than those listed were used.
The date of selection of the topic and submission of the thesis shall be recorded by the examination board.
The final thesis will be assessed, as a rule, by the supervisor. If the thesis is assessed as "not passed", it must be assessed by a second examiner. The grade will be calculated as the average of the grades awarded by the two examiners and will be adjusted to the grade scale accordingly; the mean value will be rounded off to the nearest grade on the scale. In case of an equal difference between the mean and two scale grades, the mean value will be rounded up to the better grade.
If a module, pursuant to the SER, requires further examinations in addition to the final thesis, the grade for a module will be calculated as the weighted grade average of all examinations required for the module. The grade weights of the individual modules correspond to the credits awarded.
Thesis
The final thesis of the programmes is an examination paper which concludes the scientific education in every degree course within the academic programme of the CMU. It is used to show that a student is capable of processing a problem from the corresponding field of the respective science autonomously and with scientific methods and presenting it comprehensibly, within a given period of time. The duration of the final thesis is three months, in case of the Ph. D. thesis three years.
In exceptional cases and in response to a written application to the chairperson of the examination committee by the student at least two weeks before the expiration of the deadline, this period can be extended up to three weeks.
The final thesis, except the Ph. D. thesis, can in adequately substantiated cases be completed as a group project when the performance under examination for each student is so clearly demarcated by means of the identification of sections or pages or other objective criteria that the evaluation of the individual contributions can be made.
The thesis shall include an index of all resources and means of support employed in its drafting, a summary of its content and a declaration stating that the examinee has completed the thesis independently and without using any other resources or means of support but those listed in the index.
The final thesis must be drafted in English and submitted to the examination committee in triplicate, printed and bound in DIN A4 format, on or before the deadline.
The number of pages for the Bachelor thesis is normally 50 pages, for the Master thesis 80 pages and for the Ph. D. thesis 150 pages. Significant detailed results can, where appropriate, be summarised in an annex.
When submitting the final thesis, students must guarantee in writing that they alone wrote the thesis or, in the case of a joint project, their own part of the thesis, and used no other sources or auxiliary aids than those acknowledged and no quotations other than those cited.
The evaluation of the final thesis should normally take not longer than six weeks.
Should the final thesis not be submitted on time, it will be graded as "failed" (5.0).
A failed thesis can be redone only once. A second resubmission of the final thesis is not permissible.
Transcript
Subsequent to the announcement of all grades, the examinee receives a preliminary statement on the successful completion of the examinations. Usually within two weeks time, a formal transcript is issued to the examinee. This transcript contains grades and credit points of all module examinations, their average grade, the topic of the Bachelor/Master/Doctoral thesis and its grade as well as the final grade of the examinations.
Diploma supplement
The student will receive an English language diploma supplement bearing the date of the degree certificate. The diploma supplement which is based on the record of study and transcripts is in accordance with the model agreed at the European level. It describes the exit level and the learning results of a study programme. It also specifies the higher level to which the diploma grants access. It is formulated in English and is issued automatically to all its graduates, free of charge.
Certificate
When receiving the transcript, the examinee is also provided with certificate. This is to certify that the examinee has been awarded the degree respective to the studies done: "Bachelor of Business Administration" (B. A.), "Master of Security Studies" (M. A.), "Master of European Studies" (M. A.), "Master of General Management" (MBA) and "Philosophiae Doctor" (Ph. D.). The certificate is signed by the rector of the CMU headquarter Brussels and bears the seal of the university.
Unfair or defective procedure
In the event of unfair or defective procedure students must notify without delay either the chairperson of the examination board or the examiner.
Repetition of examinations
If a module examination is failed, the examination must be repeated. The repeat examination must, as a rule, be taken within six months from notification of the examination results. In the case of non compliance with the aforementioned provision, the repeat examination is deemed "taken and not passed". Examinations in required or required elective modules must be passed. The SER may stipulate a time limit shorter than the time limit set forth above.
For each module examination at least one repeat examination will be offered. The SER may stipulate that the repeat examination is offered in the following semester or, in case of an examination administered at the end of a course, prior to the beginning of the lecture period of the next semester. Repeat examinations are restricted to repeating failed coursework.
A repeat module examination for failed examinations in required modules is to be offered every semester. In special cases, upon resolution of the examination board, the repeat examination may be administered as a different type of examination.
The final thesis and the final colloquium may be repeated only once.
Students who have failed examinations administered by the CMU may repeat those examinations only at the CMU.
IV. Examination bodies and examination administration
Examination board, examiners, examination office
The examination board is responsible for administering examinations. It will make all necessary decisions unless the academic and examination regulations provide that decisions are the examiners' responsibility, or are necessary during the examination itself and must therefore be made by examiners or proctors.
The examination board consists of five members. The members' term of office is, as a rule, three years. Extension of the term of office is admissible. Upon proposal of the dean, the faculty council will appoint the members and proxies for each examination board from those faculty members who are authorised to administer examinations. Subsequently the faculty council will appoint the chairperson and the deputy chairperson from among the nominated members. Further, the faculty council will appoint the recorder. The dean will inform the rector of the composition of the examination board.
The examination board will pass resolutions by a majority of votes cast if, after written notification of all members including proxies subject to a notification period of no less than three days, the majority of members is present or represented at a meeting. Persons not entitled to vote will not be counted. Abstention, secret votes and the transfer of voting rights are not admissible. In the event of equality of votes the chairperson shall have the casting vote. The recorder will attend meetings of the examination board without voting rights.
The chairperson will convene the meetings of the examination board. In urgent matters he/she may direct that votes be taken in writing in lieu of a meeting. The chairperson may decide on urgent matters which cannot be delayed and shall inform the examination board thereof without delay.
The examination board will ensure compliance with the provisions of the examination regulations. The examination board, at regular intervals, will report to the faculty in charge of the respective field of study on the development of examinations and periods of study, and make proposals on the reform of academic and examination regulations.
The highest organisational authority for examinations is the rector of the CMU. In administrative examination matters the examination board will be supported by the examination office.
Credits account
A specified number of credits will be allocated to each module. These credits reflect the workload that a student will encounter when enrolled in classes in a certain subject. The credits are deemed achieved if the respective module examination has received at least the grade of "sufficient" (4.0) or coursework was rated "successful".
For each student who is enrolled in a programme at the CMU, a credits account will be established; the file will be kept by the responsible examination board. Subject to compliance with data protection regulations, electronic files are admissible. The credits account contains the total credits gained in a certain programme.
Notice of examination result
Any notices which may affect a student's rights must be in writing. These notices must be substantiated and accompanied by a note on legal remedies. The examination office will provide information, through the usual means, as to when information on examination results will be delivered or electronically accessible. Students are obligated to obtain information on their examination results through the available means of information. In the event that a student fails to obtain such information, the notice of the examination result will be deemed delivered two weeks from the date mentioned. If a module, and thus the final examination, was irreversibly failed, the examination office shall mail a written notification listing all examinations and the grounds for final irreversible failure of the examination.
V. Final Provisions
Transitional provisions
The academic and examination regulations apply to all students who, from entry into force of these regulations as of January 1st 2011, register for an examination in a programme for the first time.
SER for Bachelor's programmes issued before the date mentioned must be adapted to the academic and examination regulations by no later than the summer semester 2012.
Entry into Force
These Regulations shall enter into force as of January 1st 2011.
