A digital Summer Semester 2020
The University of Bayreuth is aware of its responsibility to its students and has began, under changed conditions, but still to schedule, courses of the summer semester on April 20, 2020. The end of lectures will be postponed from July 24 to August 7, 2020. The studies in Summer Semester 2020 at the University of Bayreuth are purely digital for all courses of study. Physical presence in Bayreuth is not required.
Enrolled and especially first-year-students can expect a high-quality programme and specially tailored counselling, support, and assistance services, even under the current circumstances, in their degree programme.The fact that not every student is technically equipped in the same way, and that the various learning contents are suitable for digital teaching in different ways, have been fully taken into account.
In particular, the following provisions apply:
- Examination requirements fulfilled in summer semester 2020 will be fully credited.
- Anyone who for private reasons, or due to technical difficulties, is unable to participate in the digital courses and fulfil academic requirements, has the possibility of submitting an application for extension of deadline to the responsible examinations office, citing a "reason beyond their control".
- State examinations are subject to special regulations. Please direct any questions in this regard to the responsible ministries.
- BAföG (student financing under German federal training assistance) will be paid regularly for the digital summer semester, too. No disadvantages will arise for those who are forced to interrupt their education under the current circumstances. For up-to-date information on this issue, please refer to the website of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research.
- Even without validation of the Campuscard on site, the semester ticket can be used as usual in the 2020 summer semester. For the time being and until further notice, the ticket will be the enrolment certificate in combination with valid photo ID.
For those questions still open, we are working hard - in constant communication with the Ministry - to find solutions that will guarantee course feasibility.
Start the summer semester digitally now and experience campus flair on site as soon as possible:
- Still not sure which subject suits you? Then contact the University of Bayreuth's Student Advising Office and arrange a telephone advising appointment.
- The University of Bayreuth's e-learning platform as well as CAMPUSOnline the central points of contact for all digital activities are available to all students.
- This is where you will find all provisions for bachelor’s and master’s theses, experimental research modules, and doctoral examinations.
