With the start of the WS 2017/18 the Faculty introduces new examination regulations and related curriculums for all degree programmes. Thus, the download-section contains both the curriculums of the "PO 2010/12" as well as of the "PO 2017". 

The most important changes of the new examination regulations have been summarised in one document. This can be seen via the link below. 

Important hint: everyone who is thinking about changing to the new examination regulations should be aware of the fact that not all (new) lectures and examinations of all semesters are offered in the WS 17/18 but only the ones of the first semester. In SS 2018 those of the second semester are offered, and so on. Parallel to this, the lecture offers of the old examination regulations expire one after the other.

The curriculums only provide information on the name, scope, type of lecture and on the time reference of the lecture. Detailed information on the content, prerequisite knowledge and recommended literature can be found in the module handbooks. 

In this download-section you can find versions of them related to the old and the new examination regulations. In the PO 2017 we distinguish between the branch of study and the study emphases. Moreover, there are module handbooks for the elective courses (WPF) in the German Bachelor and Master courses.
Please also be aware that the module handbooks for PO 2010/12 are only available in German.

Please consider: Lectures are currently updated and may slightly deviate from the module handbooks. 

If you would like to take a look at the module handbooks of previous years, please contact the Dean's secretary. Hereby, it has to be mentioned that module handbooks only became compulsory with the introduction of the Bachelor and Master Degrees. Thus, there do not exist any handbooks for the diploma degree study programmes.  

The exact explanation of the proceeding information and an overview of accepted HLL courses and electives can be found in the document "Workshop information", see download-section. 

In this semester, confirmation of participation is done with certificates and not with the docket. You will receive the certificate after participating in a seminar. When having the required credit points, hand your evidence, i.e. the certificates and possibly the docket from previous semesters, to the Chair of the Examinations Board. Afterwards the Workshop Scientific Methods will be recorded as complete in the examination office.

In this winter semester 2021/22 all exams have to be passed AND the registration of the Bachelor thesis has to be done end of February at the latest (the work on the Bachelor thesis and the colloquium can then be done in the summer semester 2022 after the registration. If the Bachelor thesis will not be registered until the 28^th of February you will automatically be transferred into the examination regulation PO2017.

With winter semester 2017/18 the faculty has introduced new examination regulations "PO 2017" for all study courses.

the following rules apply for the termination of the old study courses "PO 2010/12":

Due to the pandemic situation, we have decided not to automatically transfer students from the old PO 2010/12 who have not passed all of the basic studies exams to the new PO2017 after this semester. Instead, we give these students the opportunity to have missing examinations from the basic course of the old PO recognized with coursework from the new PO. Please note the following points:

• bachelor thesis must be REGISTERED by the end of February 2022 at the latest.
  The submission of the bachelor thesis and the corresponding colloquium can take place during the summer semester 2022. This change was confirmed by the faculty council.
• Students of the old PO must have passed ALL of the course-related exams till winter semester 2021/22 - exams will be offered in WS 2021/22 for the last time.
• The number of failed attempts in exams that have not changed in the new PO remains the same.
• Students who have not passed all the exams from the old PO by the end of February 2022 or have not registered the bachelor thesis will automatically be transferred to the new PO2017.

WS 2020/21

Anmeldephase / application period: 06.12.2020 - 20.12.2020
Prüfungsphase / examination period: 01.02.2021 - 20.02.2021

In the download part you can find a conversion table for the conversion of the attained number of points in an examination to the corresponding mark (based on a total number of achievable points of 100).

In addition you can download Excel-files with the help of which you can calculate your current average grade as well as a forecast for the total grade. Of course the calculation depends on the version of the examination regulations. Please take care to select the rigth file.

Approval of examination achievements and study times

In the download-section on the right side you can find a link for the approval regulations of the Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences as well as an information sheet of the Faculty. Please read through carefully and contact the respective Chair of the Examination Boards for the arrangement of a meeting for consultancy. 

Since SS 2016 the Faculty of Textile and Clothing Technology has changed the admission proceedings for the Master Degree Programmes "Textile Produkte" and "Management of Textile Trade and Technology". The new procedure is defined in separate regulations. 

The details about the assignment of points and about the reuqirements are summarized on a seperate page (see link below).

At the beginning of each winter semester the Chairs of the Examination Boards offer information events about the degree programmes and the examination regulations. Hereby, separate events for the English degree programmes as well as for the Freshmen and students in higher semesters of the German degree programmes are organised. A copy of the presentation can be found in the right download-section.  

Certificates for the Bafög-Office are issued by the study-focus supervisor. Their names and contact information can be found on the Contacts page. An overview about the requirements needed to get the certificate are listed in the corresponding file available in the download section "Public Notices".

The Bachelor-examination regulations PO 2010/2010 required a compulsory 8-week basic internship until the beginning of the 3rd semester. 

ATTENTION: the Faculty has introduced new examination regulations in the winter semester 2017/18. These do NOT require the basic internship anymore. 

Here you can find a range of frequently asked questions and answers.

You have the possibility to review old final theses of our Faculty in the library. We have archived the theses in the library since 2012 and they can be researched there via the catalogue search engine.

An important remark about the Bachelor-, Master and Diploma-Theses:

The majority of our Bachelor-, Master- and Diploma-Theses are developed in co-operation with companies from industry. Thus, their contents often include company-intern information or new, innovative approaches which cannot be offered to the public. Therefore, many theses are "inaccessible" so they cannot be reviewed or lent. If you have questions please contact the author of the theses directly. In particularly critical cases not even the publication of the topic is allowed but this is rather an exceptional case. Generally, Bachelor-, Master- and Diploma-Theses are not to be lent.

Inaccessible final theses can be reviewed in the library and are partly available to be lent. Please research in the online-catalogue (link below) and ask the personnel if you are interested. Please take note of the opening hours of the library.

In advance of the final thesis several questions are to be answered: Often candidates ask about the usage of the university's logo on pages of the final theses. This is generally prohibited. The official position of the University of Applied Sciences for students is as follows:

• The university's logo is only allowed to be used for internal, official purposes of the University of Applied Sciences.
• Beyond that the university's usage the logo is only allowed to be used by co-operation partners with whom an official co-operation agreement exists (for example in educational or research areas).
• Therefore a logo usage contract does exist.
• A Bachelor or Master Thesis is the own property of the student or the graduate and not an official university's document. Thus, the university's logo is not allowed to be placed on it.

Frequently asked questions and answers have been summarised on a separate page.

For the assignment of the research and development projects in the Master Degree Programmes certain regulations exist which have been specified by the Examinations Board and which can be seen here. Among others you can find the information that you have to apply for them in a written form to Prof. Dr. Mahltig. The application form can be found in the download-section. Please download it, fill it in and sign it together with the supervisor. Afterwards you can hand it in to Prof. Dr. Mahltig.

Requirements for the Admission:

The internship or the university abroad is chosen by yourself independently. A claim for the assignment of an internship does not exist. The internship semester / semester abroad has to be requested at the Examinations office in written form and has to be authorised. For this the following requirements have to be fulfilled:

The request for an internship semester / semester abroad is authorised if you have collected at least 89 credit points.

During the internship semester / semester abroad you are supervised by a professor of the Faculty. He or she evaluates the suitability of the internship / agrees on the lectures during the semester abroad.

Procedure:

When all admission requirements are fulfilled and when you have found an internship / university abroad of your choice you should concern yourself with the application for the internship semester / semester abroad at the Faculty. The „Antrag auf Zulassung zum Praxissemester" ("Request for the Admission for the internship / semester abroad") has to be signed by you and your supervisor and is afterwards forwarded to the Examinations Office. In case you do an internship please also forward the concluded internship contract (as a copy) to your supervisor,  which has to be handed in to Examinations Office together with the „Antrag auf Zulassung" ("Request for the Admission"). When your documents are received in the Examinations Office a decision is made about the admission to the internship semester / semester abroad.

After the termination of the internship semester / semester abroad a 20-page report has to be written and handed in to the supervisor. Moreover, an internship certificate or a certificate of examinations of the partner university abroad must be handed in. These documents as well as the completed "Belegbogen zum Praxis-/ Auslandsstudiensemester"  ("Document of Proof for the internship semester / semester abroad") have to be forwarded to the Examinations Office via the supervisor. There the internship semester / semester abroad can be recorded.

For a successful internship semester / semester abroad 30 credit points are accredited.  

Recommendation:

In the curriculum for the Bachelor Degree Programmes the internship semester / semester abroad is scheduled for the 6th semester but it can also be done in another semester. Please take into account the semester and examination schedules of the partner university or of the internship. Here, an overlapping may occur. For a semester or internship abroad language skills of at least the B2 level are required. Therefore you also have to inform yourself about the possible requirements of the partner university or internship.

The internship semester is intended to offer you the chance to apply the knowledge gained during the studies and to introduce you to professional activities of your later career with the help of practical work in an enterprise of the textile and clothing industry.  

Research:
Job and internship offers are frequently published on the homepage of the Faculty of Textile and Clothing Technology.

For tips and recommendations please contact the professors of the respective interest emphasis or contact the study focus supervisor.

Semester abroad:

There are many different programmes for the sponsorship of a semester abroad. Information about this can be found on the pages of the International Office (IO). The link for the online-applications for ERASMUS+ can be found via "Weiterführende Links" ("Further Links").

Instead of an internship semester a semester abroad at a foreign university can be done as well. The semester abroad serves to enhance the knowledge of the chosen study direction, support the intercultural competence as well as global thinking and improve the skills in the language of the host country. 

Important hint:

At all partnerships only a limited number of places for the applicants can be offered. Therefore it is important to obtain information early, to apply early enough and if necessary to choose an alternative.

Many of our partner universities offer lectures in the English language. Please check on the course material on the website of your favourite university. 

Credit points (ECTS):

For the semester abroad the allocation of credit points is composed as follows: On the other hand a 20 page- report about the semester abroad has to be handed in to the supervisor after the semester abroad , for which further 10 credit points can be accredited. The selection of courses has to be authorised by the supervisor and is recorded in the written form of a Learning Agreement. During the accreditation of the semester abroad you are awarded with 30 credit points by the Examinations Board. Please take into account that the points achieved in the host country may have to be transferred to ECTS-points (European Credit Transfer System).

Partner universities:

The access to the database of the international university co-operations of the Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences can be found on the pages of the International Office (IO). The link for the online-applications for ERASMUS+ can be found via "Further Links".

The Faculty organises internship opportunities for Bachelor and Master students in Dhaka, Bangladesh. In various certified companies of the textile and clothing industry you may track the complete textile chain in practice as well as collect interesting cultural insights in the production country Bangladesh.
This offer is preferably valid for students who have to do the compulsory internship semester. The time frame and the duration of the internship is also offered to other students but in general the minimum duration should not be below 2 months.

NEW: Short internship in Bangladesh (4 weeks). Bachelor students of higher semesters and Master students can apply. The application form can be found in the download-section via "Forms".
