The lecture period has begun and WiSo welcomes its students in the third digital semester #WiSoVirtuell. In addition, of course, the newly enrolled students in the 1st master semester. We wish everyone a good start into the virtual semester 2021!

The WiSo-Virtuellplus concept is planned at the faculty for the summer semester 2021. It aims to ensure that selected courses can be enriched with presence elements in parallel to digital content, which can be attended on a voluntary basis. By digitalizing all compulsory modules, the faculty is able to guarantee that it remains possible to study all study programs.

Since the end of the pandemic is not yet forecastable, the faculty is adjusting the organization of lectures. This is why the concept WiSo-Virtuell, which was developed as an answer to the corona crisis, has now been expanded to the concept WiSo-Virtuellplus.

Examinations at WiSo can take place in presence under strict conditions. Students are explicitly required to keep their distance before and after the examination and to wear their mask on the FAU premises as well as at other examination venues such as the trade fair. There is no obligation to wear an FFP2 mask.

FAU has published regulations concerning deviations from degree programme and examination regulations and the doctoral degree and habilitation regulations due to restrictions to teaching and examinations imposed as a result of the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2.

If a bachelor’s degree has already been achieved, a master’s program is the perfect choice to further expand the expertise. Information events on the master’s degree programs will therefore be held again at the beginning of 2021. The study program coordinators will provide information on content, focus areas and the admission procedure.

With the shutdown decided for Wednesday, December 16, 2020, no exams may take place at the School of Business, Economics and Society. This requirement applies to all examinations, oral as well as written, which are to be conducted in presence.
