    Guidelines For The Approval of Personal Electives: Master of Science in Environmental Engineering

    Uploaded by

    Yawar Khurshid
    This document provides guidelines for students in the Master of Science in Environmental Engineering program to select personal elective modules. It states that students can assign up to 18 ECTS credits from exams outside their fixed curriculum to their personal electives catalogue. These credits will then count toward total credits and average grade. Acceptable personal electives include modules from other fields of study in the MSc program, other TUM programs, soft skills courses, language courses up to 6 credits at B2 level or higher, and modules from partner universities. Students must identify a mentor from their field of study to approve their chosen personal electives. The approval form must be submitted to the examination officer by the stated deadlines.

    Guidelines for the approval of personal electives


    Master of Science in Environmental Engineering

    Writing exams outside the curriculum


    Students of TUM can participate in almost all exams offered at the university. Exams that do not belong to
    their fixed curriculum will appear on the transcript as “additional courses” and will count to neither the total
    credits nor the average grade of the study programme. Students of the MSc program in Environmental Engi-
    neering however, can assign up to 18 ECTS credits from such “additional courses” into their personal elective
    catalogue - making them count to both total achieved credits and average grade. A mentor must approve the
    chosen personal electives.

    Selecting modules for the personal elective catalogue


    Not all modules qualify for the assignment to the personal electives. They must be related to environmental
    engineering or have a contribution to the student’s profile as an engineer. Personal electives can be
    chosen from:

     Modules form other Fields of Study from the MSc program in Environmental Engineering

     Modules on MSc-level form other study programmes of TUM

     Soft skills from the CvL Academy and the TUM library

     Language Courses from the TUM Language Centre


     up to a total of 6 credits, level A2 or higher. English and the own mother language are excluded.

     Modules of the ATHENS programme

     Modules passed during a stay abroad at a partner university

    The approval of the modules is a subject to discussion between mentor and student.

    Identifying a mentor
    All approved examiners of the Department of Civil Geo and Environmental Engineering (professors, assistants
    and senior researchers) can become mentors. The students should choose a mentor from a chair that co-
    ordinates or has major involvement in one of their chosen Fields of Study.

    Procedure and deadlines


    In order to assign modules to the personal elective catalogue, students must fill in an approval form, get a
    mentor’s signature and submit the signed form to the examination officer Miss Bayer. The are two sepa-
    rate approval forms available under www.bgu.tum.de  Downloads - one for modules from TUM and one for
    modules from a foreign university.

    We advise students to get their mentor’s approval on their personal electives as early as possible in each se-
    mester in order to have the certainty that the modules qualify. It is recommended to submit the approval
    form immediately after passing the exams. Later submissions will be accepted. However, if a significant
    number of credits remain unassigned it can lead to a conflict with the study progress control.

    Overlapping courses, partial exams and paper certificates


    Single courses that are part of the Environmental Engineering programme might be included in modules of
    other study programmes in various combinations. In such cases only the modules of the Environmental Engi-
    neering programme are eligible for the personal electives. Modules of other study programmes containing
    or consisting of parts of Environmental Engineering modules cannot be assigned to the personal elec-
    tives.

    Do not submit paper confirmations of passed exams. Only official exams that that exist in TUMonline and
    for which you can officially register can be processed.

    For the recognition of modules form partner universities, please use only the official transcript of records
    issued after you complete your stay abroad.
