Exceeding the standard period of study

As of 01.04.2024, changes to the General Study and Examination Regulations for the Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programs of the Faculty of Engineering came into force (current version see https://www.fau.de/fau/rechtsgrundlagen/pruefungsordnungen/tech/#allg-po-ba-ma). The time limit for exceeding the standard period of study in Master’s programs has been increased from one to two semesters, so that all degree programs (Bachelor’s, Master’s and the respective part-time variants) can now be completed in two semesters more than the standard period of study. If you anticipate exceeding the standard period of study by more than two semesters, please submit an application for an extension to the Examinations Office in good time before the start of the semester (1 October or 1 April) in which the overrun occurs (see form at Examinations Office – Faculty of Engineering | FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg).
