Information from the Student Advisory Service

General information

with many important links has been compiled on the faculty pages. Nevertheless, the most frequent links specifically for Medical Informatics are collected below. You can also find a short summary for first semester students to print out here.

Notice board

Current information is published on the IM faculty notice board, e.g. the cancellation of lectures, room relocations, etc.

Timetables

The current timetables can be found under Webuntis -> Timetable -> Semester

ELO course of the Medical Informatics study group

A separate ELO course has been set up for the study group. It contains current job offers from the Society for Medical Informatics, as well as information about events such as the Medical Informatics Christmas party and the RCBE Christmas Symposium.

Enrolment in the ELO course for the Medical Informatics study group does not take place directly but indirectly via the specific ELO courses for the respective study start, e.g. Medical Informatics - study start WiSe 2025/2026.

General scientific electives

The range of so-called AW subjects can be viewed here. AW subjects serve to train social and non-technical skills. For this reason, all modules that do not belong to computer science in the broadest sense are permitted in Medical Informatics (new SPO). They are therefore freely selectable from the entire AW range with the following exceptions:

  • Modules from the field of EDP
  • VHB modules in the subject area of Internet competence or other computer science-related topics

Modules in the area of presentation and moderation as well as languages, especially English, are certainly useful for your studies.

Schedules

Lecture-free days, examination period, registration period, etc. You can find this information in the current timetables.

Module descriptions and compulsory electives

of the current semester can be found in the module handbooks and supplementary documents for the compulsory elective modules.

Legal documents

in which you can read about your rights and obligations are primarily

Examinations

Participation in an examination requires timely registration (see timetables). Registration takes place electronically inHisInOne. Examinations usually take place during the official examination period (see timetables). If you do not wish to take part in an examination, there is currently no deregistration, you simply do not take the examination.

Admission to examinations

In some modules there are course-related assessments. The lecturer determines which assessments must be completed during the semester in order to be admitted to the examination. Details will be communicated by the lecturer in the first lecture. If you are registered for an examination and are not admitted to the examination, this will be announced on the notice board.

Postponement

Is possible, but not advisable. Ultimately, all modules must be passed in order to successfully complete your studies. Deferment is limited for orientation modules (see orientation modules). In addition, after 9 semesters, all modules that have not been taken by then are graded with a "Frist-5".

Illness during the examination period

If you fall ill during the examination period or have to cancel an examination due to illness, a doctor's certificate is required in all cases. If you are obliged to take part in an examination (e.g. orientation examination, repeat examination), you should apply for a grace period. Details on how to deal with illness during the examination period can be found here.

Failure

If you fail an examination, you must take the next repeat examination in the following semester. Non-participation results in a "Frist-5". If you fail the first resit examination, you must take the second resit examination within 2 semesters of the first resit examination. A third repeat examination (fourth attempt) is possible once for modules from the 2nd study stage onwards.

This information is without guarantee. Only the legal documents in their current version are legally binding (see legal documents).

Orientation modules

In Medical Informatics, Mathematics 1 and Programming 1 are orientation modules. These modules must be taken for the first time by the end of the second semester. Otherwise a "Frist-5" will be awarded. The deadlines then run accordingly (see Examinations).

Bachelor's theses

A Bachelor's thesis can be supervised by any professor in the Faculty of Computer Science and Mathematics. A distinction is made between internal work in one of the faculty laboratories and external work at a company or research institute. Contact a supervisor well in advance of the planned start of your Bachelor's thesis and talk to him/her about the process and organization. If you are interested in writing your Bachelor's thesis at ReMIC, please take a look at this page. You can find everything about the formal procedure for registering for the Bachelor's thesis, the Bachelor's seminar and the link to the Bachelor's seminar lecture bills in the ELO course information board for the IM Faculty. In addition, there is an information event in the 6th semester specifically on the topic of the Bachelor's thesis by the student advisor.

Semester abroad

A semester abroad is not compulsory, but is strongly supported by the faculty. A semester abroad gives you a new experience that will help you develop your personality and benefit you for the rest of your life. It will also improve your language skills.

In principle, the timing is arbitrary, but the period between the 4th and 7th semester is ideal. It is particularly easy to organize a stay abroad in the practical semester (5th semester). But in other semesters, too, you will receive every conceivable support through generous recognition practice and organizational help. Important: Prepare your stay abroad well in advance!

The Faculty of Computer Science and Mathematics maintains numerous relationships with partner universities abroad. In addition, there is an ELO page with information about studying abroad. There are also regular information events organized by the Faculty's International Relations Officer.
