The examination board makes decisions regarding the subject matter and is therefore responsible, for example, for recognitions, assignment of topics for final theses, application of disadvantage compensation and extension of the processing time of final theses in connection with the framework regulations and the respective study regulations. The examination board is also responsible for deciding on the admission of applicants to the master's degree programs.
