Description
Every master’s student Bio-Pharmaceutical Sciences has to earn 20 colloquia points, which equal 1 EC. The colloquium points can be earned in three ways:
By attending the oral presentations (of Research Project 1 or 2) of master’s students of BPS. These colloquia are announced via email and blackboard by the study advisers. 1 oral presentation = 1 colloquium point; at least 10 oral presentations of students of BPS should to be attended.
By attending symposiums organized by „Aesculapius” or the LACDR. Announcements can be found on the notice board in front of the room of the study advisers. 1 symposium = 2 colloquium points; in total, a maximum of 6 points can be obtained in this way.
By attending seminars organized by the LACDR. Announcements can be found in the elevator halls. 1 seminar = 1 colloquium point; in total, a maximum of 4 points can be obtained in this way.
Students following the SBB specialisation may attend SBB colloquia, with a maximum of 5. These students should follow at least 10 colloquia of Master’s students of BPS as well.
Master students in BPS attending colloquia are obliged to fill out an evaluation form in order to earn colloquium points. Colloquium points will only be provided if the form is filled out completely, including a well defined question, student name, student number and signature of LACDR staff member. Raising a question during the colloquia is mandatory.
