Modulprüfung

A Modulprüfung is a type of examination commonly found in the German higher education system. It is used to assess a student's learning and understanding of a specific module or course within a larger degree program. Unlike a single final exam for an entire degree, a Modulprüfung focuses on a discrete unit of study, often covering a semester's worth of material.

The format of a Modulprüfung can vary widely. It might consist of a written exam, an oral examination, a project, a presentation, a term paper, or a combination of these assessment methods. The specific requirements and grading criteria are typically defined in the module handbook or examination regulations of the university and the particular study program. Successful completion of a Modulprüfung is often a prerequisite for progressing to subsequent modules or for earning credits towards a degree. These examinations are designed to ensure that students have acquired the necessary knowledge and skills for the subject matter covered within that particular module before moving on to more advanced topics or specialized areas.
