Depending on the subject, the standard period of study averages between eight and twelve semesters. The training and examinations are standardized statewide and nationwide.

S e i t e 4 Degree courses with restriction of permission have only a limited number of places. Therefore, the university selects those candidates from all applicants that are especially qualified. The decision is based on the grades of the school or college/university leaving certificate. * 2 ) Aptitude Test Some degree courses require an aptitude test that needs to be passed successfully before the semester starts. This is a pre-requisite for enrolment. For some aptitude tests you need to register beforehand. Please contact the respective faculty or the International Office early enough. * 3 ) Elective Minor Studies (=Frei Kombinierbares Nebenfach, FKN) In addition to the tracks already mentioned, an elective minor studies" track can be taken, which is designed to support non-traditional, interdisciplinary and project-oriented courses of study. Here students design their own minor by combining any two study units" (Studieneinheiten). More in-depth information about course work and assessment can be found on the university homepage under each of the respective study units: http://www.uni-regensburg.de/studium/koordinierungsstelle-leistungspunkte/ FKN Foreign Language Requirements Some degree courses (such as French Language and Literature) expect candidates to have foreign language skills in the desired field and you will have to take a language aptitude test. However, other Language and Literature programmes exist - like Italian, Spanish and Russian - where candidates are not required to have any experience of studying these languages. Here, you will have the opportunity to learn the basics of the respective language in special preparation classes shortly before the programme starts. Competence in Latin is a requirement for some degree courses that you have to give proof of during your studies (History, Archaeology, Musicology, Greek Language and Literature). If your level of Latin is not yet up to the one required or if you have not studied Latin before, you can acquire the necessary Latin skills during courses at the university. Please allow an extra semester for the acquisition of Latin. The International Office or the Advisory Services will tell you whether Latin is compulsive for your field of studies.
