You are all very welcome and invited to join our MA mentoring session, given by our student mentor Deniz Halman, on May 1^4th 2025. It will take place in Garystr. 55, room 101. This mentoring session could be especially useful for new MA students of our program, as it gives detailed information and clarification on the following topics:

Agenda:

• Program structure
• Examination
• Grading
• Plagiarism
• Who to contact
• External courses
• New study regulation: most relevant changes
• Jobs, e.g. student assistant positions
  
  

The session will be around 90 minutes long and holds space for specific questions and further clarifications if needed. If you are a new student at the FU or have recently started you should join the session! Especially  if you have questions such as the following:

• What’s the difference between active participation and a module examination?
• What type of exam do I need to take for which module?
• Can I take one seminar of a module at a later point as the other seminar/lecture of the same module?
• Can I structure the MA program differently than the recommended plan and what is to be considered?
• What if I fail an exam?
• How is the grade of a module determined?
• Is it possible to participate in courses at other universities in Berlin and get them credited for a module at our MA program?
• How do I know what counts as plagiarism?
• Who do I contact regarding specific questions?
• What do I need to know about the new study regulation?
• What possibilities exist to obtain a student assistant position?
