Your programme of study is determined by the Module Handbook and the schedules it contains. Particularly at the undergraduate level, it is helpful to compare your current status with the schedule on a regular basis. You can find the programmes here.
Exams
In Computer Science, "registration" for a course is generally understood to mean registration for the respective exam or final examination. In some degree programmes it may be necessary to "book" courses before the start of the semester, but this is not the case in Computer Science. Go to the first lecture, where the organisational part with ILIAS, Moodle and Co. will be explained. If you want to take the exam in the course, you have to register for the exam.
Registering for exams is a recurring theme, which is why you will find here the most important information in a nutshell. If in doubt, your Examination secretariat will help you further.
exam protocols
Old exams and exam protocols can be found in the PPI. This is where the Fachschaft Informatik has been collecting exam transcripts for many years. We now have about 900 exams in our archive, covering more than 180 different lectures. You will be rewarded with 3 tokens for each protocol you upload (and accept). Each token can be used to download all the protocols for a lecture. The aim is to create an ecosystem that ensures that up-to-date protocols are always available.
You can find the PPI at ppi.fsi.uni-tuebingen.de
Exam regulations
A FAQ on the examination regulations is available here. Information on the change of examination regulations is available here.
Mailing lists
We and our professors use mailing lists as a central means of communication. In times of GDPR, we as the Student Union do not have access to your student email addresses, you have to sign up for the mailing lists yourself!
The most important mailing lists are:
- info-studium (general study information - BE SURE TO REGISTER!)
- info-jobs (job offers)
- info-talk (further information, fairs etc.)
- coding (invitations to hackathons, coding challenges...)
You can easily register for the mailing lists via the Web-Frontend . Click on the name of the mailing list and enter your details in the "Subscribing to..." section.
You can find more information at Mailing lists
Study counselling
For each degree programme, we offer you a dedicated student advisor who is familiar with all aspects of the relevant degree programme.

| Medical informatics | Felix Sieghörtner (medizininformatik[ät]uni-tuebingen.de) |
Semester abroad
The Department of International Relations (Academic Exchange Department) at the University of Tübingen runs an extensive exchange programme with many universities worldwide. In addition, there are some direct contacts between Computer Science and other European universities as part of the ERASMUS programme.
Wie wichtig ein Auslandsaufenthalt für die persönliche Erfahrung, das fachliche Weiterkommen, die Selbstständigkeit, die eigene Motivation und die Erweiterung des gesellschaftlichen Horizonts etc. sein kann, sollte eigentlich nicht weiter betont werden müssen. Jede:r Studierenden sei empfohlen: .
