1 Welcome 3

1 WelcomeWelcome to the Biomedical Computing Masters program. This booklet issupposed to help you getting started with your studies and in the program.

We recommend you read it thoroughly, because you will need most thingssooner or later. Here you can nd information about your study plan, thestudy regulations, helpful contacts, and much more information. Throughoutthis booklet you might get redirected to the list of helpful online resourcesat the end. And last, but not least, in the appendix you will nd a copy of the official study regulations.

For questions that are not yet answered here, each of you is going to

have a personal mentor at CAMP. This Masters program is still new, so if you notice something missing from this brochure or something that would beuseful for others to know, please tell us for all future students.

2 Study Plan & Sample SchedulesYou can choose courses out of currently 31 available modules. All thesemodules, as well as the information on the semester they need to be taken issummarized on the web-site for the study plan [1]. You should always referto this site if you want to choose the schedule for your current semester. Inthe following, you will be provided with some examples for the rst semester,in order to get started more easily. In part you may choose which modulesyou take (required-elective modules), in part you may not choose (requiredmodules).

For the rst semester, you have to take 5 so-called required modules, from

which 3 are practical courses ( Medical Instrumentation , Clinical Applicationsand Techniques of Computer Aided Surgery , and Computer Aided Trauma Surgery ), which will take place at Klinikum rechts der Isar, in the city center.The two remaining required courses are lectures, one will be read in Garching(Computer Aided Medical Procedures I ), the other one will be read in theTUM main city campus, Arcisstr. ( Introduction to Biological Imaging ). TheECTS for these 5 courses sum up to 22. We made sure that you will haveenough time to travel to the respective locations in Munich.

You also have to take so-called required-elective modules with an ECTSsum of 8. These courses are free to choose, but they must be approved by

your study advisor. Figures 1, 2, 3, and 4 show sample schedules for the rstsemester. All courses, whose elds are marked green are held in Klinikumrechts der Isar, the purple one is taught in Arcisstr., and the orange onesare read in Garching. Depending on your previous knowledge, you will wantto deepen your knowledge in mathematics, in programming, or in numerics,which give rise to the three respective schedules. These schedules are sampleschedules, depending on your specic interests and previous knowledge, itcan differ in the required-elective modules.

3 Study regulations 9

3 Study regulationsIt is essential to know the General Academic and Examination Regu-lations - ASPO [2] and the Academic and Examination Regulationsfor the Master Program Biomedical Computing [3] very well! Someimportant items for your daily life are listed below, but please keep in mindthat the provided information is neither complete, nor legally binding !

3.1 ModulesStudies are organized into modules. A module consists of one or several the-matically linked and synchronized courses. However, most modules consistof only one lecture, exercise, practicum, or project report. Every Bache-lor or Master program consists of required , required elective (sometimesalso called elective courses) and/or elective modules (sometimes also calledadditional courses):

• Required modules must be taken by all students and the pertinentexaminations must be successfully completed.

• For required elective modules students may choose, from a the-

matically selected range, modules in compliance with the number of credits stipulated in the FPSO (study regulations of BMC) and mustsuccessfully complete the corresponding module examination.

• For elective modules students may choose modules in compliancewith the selection and number of credits dened in the correspondingFPSO. Failed examinations in an elective module may be replaced byan examination that was passed in a different elective module withinthe relevant standard period of study and the expiration grace period.

As a rule, a module is completed with a written or oral module examinationtaken along with the coursework. The module examination may consist of an examination, coursework, or a combination of an examination and oneor more coursework assignments. In addition to this module examinationassignments or mid-term papers may be required during the semester. De-tails, in particular number, type and content of the examinations and theirweighting for the module grade, are determined by the examiners in coordi-nation with the Examination Board and shall be announced to the studentsin due form no later than four weeks before the beginning of classes of therespective term.

8/6/2019 BMC-Guide-2010


10 CONTENTS

3.2 ECTSThe number of courses and examinations to be completed is calculated onthe basis of student workload for a given module measured in credits andthe accumulation of credits pursuant to the European Credit Transfer Sys-tem (ECTS). The award of credits requires the successful completion of modules . Credits cannot be awarded for mere attendance, they requiresuccessful proof of completion of a module examination. Credits are a quan-titative measurement of a student’s total workload. One credit reects aworkload of 30 hours. As a rule 30 credits are awarded each semester.

3.3 Credits and ModulesCredits for modules must be whole numbers. Modules may comprise 2 to 10credits. In justied exceptional cases modules may comprise up to 20 creditsprovided that the module extends over one academic year. Further, a highernumber of credits is permitted only for modules which comprise preparationof a nal thesis or which require special practica or project reports. 30 creditsare allocated to the preparation of the Master’s Thesis.

3.4 ExaminationsVarious types of examinations are possible; i.e. written examinations, otherwritten performance and oral examinations. For group examinations, thecontribution an individual student has made to a group examination mustbe clearly discernible and assessable.Important items for written examinations :

• Students who participate in a written examination must, upon request,prove their identity by presenting the student card together with aphoto ID.

• If students arrive late for an examination no extra time will be allowedto compensate for time lost.

• Students may not leave the examination room without permission of the proctor. Time and duration of the absence will be recorded on theexamination paper.

• Resources (like books, sheet with notes, et cetera) permitted for an ex-amination will be determined by the examiner; they will be announcedno later than four weeks before the examination date.

8/6/2019 BMC-Guide-2010


3.5 Examination Time Limits and Progress Monitoring 11

• Written examinations will last at least 60 and not more than 180 min-utes. Modules for which more than 10 credits are awarded may require240 minutes. The length of the written examination must be providedfor in the FPSO.

• If only a few students have registered for an examination, the lecturerin charge of the course may announce, in writing and no later than fourweeks before the scheduled date of the examination, that instead of awritten examination an oral examination will be held.

Important items for oral examinations :

• Oral examinations must be administered by at least one examiner andone competent observer.

• Oral individual examinations will last at least 20 minutes and not morethan 60 minutes. Oral group examinations will last at least 15 minutesand not more than 45 minutes for each candidate.

• Essential elements of each subject examination shall be recorded in theminutes by competent staff.

For almost all examinations you have to register via TUM-Online [4] – see

Appendix B.

3.5 Examination Time Limits and Progress Monitor-ing

Examinations should be completed in time to achieve the number of creditsstipulated in the FPSO by the end of the standard period of study (foursemesters). For compliance with the standard period of study one shouldachieve 30 credits per semester.It is expected that students, in compliance with the pertinent selection provi-

sions, achieve a minimum of 20 credits per semester. Students who fall belowthe number of credits per semester by at least 15 credits get a warning. Stu-dents will be appropriately informed of further details by the Faculty; inparticular, the FPSO may provide that students concerned will be invited toa counseling interview.The following number of credits must be achieved in the modules set forthin the pertinent FPSO:

1. At least one required module examination must be taken by the end of the second semester.

8/6/2019 BMC-Guide-2010


12 CONTENTS

2. A minimum of 30 credits by the end of the third subject semester;

3. A minimum of 60 credits by the end of the fourth subject semester;

4. A minimum of 90 credits by the end of the fth subject semester;

5. A minimum of 120 credits by the end of the sixth subject semester.

If requirements 1-4 are violated in the sense , that students exceed the timelimits the module examinations not yet taken are deemed taken and irre-versibly failed unless justied by good cause (see ASPO § 11, (7)). If 5is violated all module examinations not yet taken are deemed taken andnot passed. In the event that students exceed those time limits by anothersemester the module examinations not yet taken are deemed irreversiblyfailed unless justied by good cause.

3.6 Passing and Failure of Examinations

A module is deemed passed when the module examination has been gradedat least ”‘sufficient”’ (4.0). If the module examination also requires course-work, coursework must have been graded ”‘Successful”’ in order to pass themodule.The nal examination is deemed passed when all modules stipulated inthe FPSO have been passed and the required plus credit points have beenachieved. The nal examination is deemed irreversibly failed when

1. a required module or required elective module has been irreversiblyfailed due to non-compliance with the time limit;

2. the required number of credits in elective modules can no longer beobtained due to non-compliance with the time limit;

3. an examination cycle, to the extent provided for in the FPSO, has beenirreversibly failed;

4. the required progress pursuant to the last subsection cannot be demon-strated;

5. the second attempt at passing the nal thesis/nal colloquium was notsuccessful.

8/6/2019 BMC-Guide-2010


3.7 Repetition of Examinations 13

3.7 Repetition of ExaminationsIf a module examination in a required or required elective module isfailed, the module examination must be repeated . The repeat examina-tion must, as a rule, be taken within six months from notication of theexamination results. In the event of non-compliance with the aforementionedprovision, the repeat examination is deemed taken and not passed. Exami-nations in required or required elective modules must be passed.For each module examination at least one repeat examination will be of-fered. Passed examinations may not be repeated for the purpose of improv-ing grades.

In general a repeat examination for failed examinations in required and re-quired elective modules is to be offered every semester.Examinations in an elective module that were not passed may be repeated.Failed examinations in an elective module may also be replaced by anexamination that was passed in a different elective module .The nal thesis and the nal colloquium may be repeated only once.Students who have failed examinations administered by the Technische Uni-versit at Munchen may repeat those examinations only at the TechnischeUniversit at Munchen.

14 CONTENTS

4 Frequently Asked Questions1. What is the total number of ECTS credits required per semester?

You have to earn at least 120 credits in the 4 semesters. 30 are reservedfor your Master’s Thesis, so for each of the 3 other semesters you needabout 30 credits. You are free to distribute the courses to take overyour study time, as discussed and decided with your studies advisor.

2. What is the difference between “required-elective modules”and “elective modules”?The required-elective electives are classes that are, once you decided to

take them, counted in your ECTS records, no matter what grade youget in your nal exam. The elective ones are those classes that can still,after you have participated in the exam, be discarded if the student isnot satised with their result.

3. Is it possible to take German language classes?Our university offers plenty of German classes, which you can nd inthe web. There is typically no fee for these language courses. However,language courses are an additional offer to your education and theyare not part of our study program. You are encouraged to attenda German language course, but you will not be credited within our

Master’s program.4. Are there alternatives to lectures taught in German language?

In the study plan there are enough courses offered in English to fulll allECTS requirements and still have a broad choice for different lectures.

5. Is it possible to repeat passed exams to improve the grade?No, passed exams cannot be repeated. However, failed examinations inan elective module may also be replaced by an examination that waspassed in a different elective module.

5 Contacts

5.1 CAMPEvery student in the Biomedical Computing program has a personal mentorfrom CAMP. If you have questions specic to this program or your course of study, contact your mentor rst.

General coordinator for the mentoring is Tobias Reichl (CAMP), contacthim if e.g. your mentor is temporarily not available.

5.2 Serviceb¨ uro Informatik - StudiumThe “Serviceb¨ uro Informatik - Studium”[5] offers support for studentsof the mathematics and computer science departments.

For almost all administrative questions the best point to start is the“Student info point” (MI 00.10.013). Among else, they can help you withexamination procedures, computer access and other issues revolving aroundthe course of study. If any question falls outside their scope, they can redirectyou to the appropriate contact person.

For international students, the people from “International Affairs”(Carola Jumpertz, Denise Lichtig, Christine M¨ uller) can help you if haveproblems settling down in Munich, or (the other way around) if you plan tospend a part of your studies abroad.

The academic advisors (Dr. Angelika Reiser, Nastaran Matthes) canhelp you with general questions about studying computer science at TUM.

5.3 Student SocietyLast, but not least, at the student society[6] (MI 00.06.036) you can meetother students – they do not necessarily study the same program or even subject as you do, but they are students as well and might know your problemsrst hand.

7 LocationsThere are different locations which might be relevant for you during yourstudies:

• Campus Garching

• City campus (“Stammgel¨ande”) in the city center, near K¨ onigsplatz

• Klinikum rechts der Isar, near Max-Weber-Platz (the IFL lab is here)

• Innenstadtklinikum, near Sendlinger Tor (the NARVIS lab is here)

• Klinikum Großhadern

You can nd more information at the online room list [13], but we’lldescribe the campus Garching and the hospital “Klinikum rechts der Isar”in more detail below.

7.1 GarchingHere are some maps of the Mathematics/Informatics building (see gure 6)and the campus Garching (see gure 5).

Room numbers in the Mathematics resp. Computer Science departmentare built as “Level.Part.Room”, i.e. the room “MI 03.13.010” (our seminarroom) is on level three, in building part 13, and there it is room number ten.

On the campus Garching, there are several possibilities to have lunch:directly in the mathematics / computer science building there is the FMIBistro run by “Loske”, usually offering three or four dishes between 2.85 and5.30 Euros. In the Mensa you can usually choose between three dishesbetween 1.00 and 3.40 Euros, and there are two cafeterias, one directly abovethe Mensa and one in the mechanical engineering department, offering threeto four dishes from 2.00 Euros. At the FMI Bistro you can only pay cash,

at the Mensa you can only pay with your student card, at the cafeterias youcan use both. In order to pay with your student card, you have to put moneyon it at at one of several machines in the Mensa or next to the cafeterias.

There are several libraries on the Campus Garching, the two most inter-esting to you are those in the mechanical engineering department and in themathematics / computer science building. The former has mostly textbooks,the latter has more specialized titles. In any case, you can search over alllibraries online [14] and then you see which library has it.

(2) 1The program consists of required, required elective and/or elective modules. 2Requiredmodules must be taken by all students and the pertinent examinations must be successfullycompleted. 3For required elective modules students may choose, from a thematicallyselected range, modules in compliance with the number of credits stipulated in the FPSOand must successfully complete the corresponding module examination. 4For electivemodules students may choose modules in compliance with the selection and number ofcredits defined in the corresponding FPSO. 5Failed examinations in an elective module maybe replaced by an examination that was passed in a different elective module within therelevant standard period of study and the expiration grace period. 6Number and content ofthe different module types shall be stipulated in the pertinent FPSO. 7In particular, the FPSOshall specify all modules for which there is no possibility of selection, i.e. whose successfulcompletion is a prerequisite for graduation. 8In the event of changes or in the case of § 8subsection 3 of the APSO a resolution of the Examination Board shall be brought about.

(3) 1Credits for modules must be whole numbers. 2Modules may comprise 2 to 10 credits. 3In justified exceptional cases modules may comprise up to 20 credits provided that the module

extends over one academic year.4

Further, a higher number of credits is permitted only formodules which comprise preparation of a final thesis or which require special practica orproject reports. 5For the preparation of the Bachelor’s Thesis 6 to 12 credits shall beallocated, for the Master’s Thesis 30 credits. 6For continuing education Master’s programs 15to 30 credits may be allocated to the preparation of the Master’s Thesis.

(4) 1 As a rule, a module is completed with a written or oral module examination taken along withthe coursework. 2The module examination may consist of an examination, coursework, or acombination of an examination and one or more coursework assignments. 3In addition to thismodule examination assignments or mid-term papers may be required during the semester.4Details, in particular number, type and content of the examinations and their weighting for

the module grade, are determined by the examiners in coordination with the ExaminationBoard and shall be announced to the students in due form no later than four weeks beforethe beginning of classes of the respective term.

last class of the module prior to beginning of classes of the following semester.(7) The module compendium shall delineate, university-wide and for each required, required

elective and elective module, the descriptions necessary pursuant to the structuralspecifications of the Kultusministerkonferenz [Standing Conference of Ministers of Educationand Cultural Affairs of the Länder in the Federal Republic of Germany].

§ 7ECTS

1The number of courses and examinations to be completed is calculated on the basis of studentworkload for a given module measured in credits and the accumulation of credits pursuant to theEuropean Credit Transfer System (ECTS). 2The award of credits requires the successfulcompletion of modules. 3Credits cannot be awarded for mere attendance, they requiresuccessful proof of completion of a module examination. 4Credits are a quantitativemeasurement of a student’s total workload. 5One credit reflects a workload of 30 hours. 6 As arule 30 credits are awarded each semester.

§ 8Courses

(1) 1Goals and contents of a program are conveyed by means of courses using different forms ofteaching pursuant to the FPSO. 2 At the Technische Universität München the FPSO maystipulate courses including, but not limited to:

1. lectures;2. exercises;3. seminars;4. colloquia;5. practica;6. excursions/field trips.

(2)1

All courses are allocated to modules.2

In a given program credits for completion of anindividual course can be counted only once. 3Required elective or elective courses in whichexaminations were taken during Bachelor’s programs whose results counted towards theoverall grade cannot be selected again for the Master’s program.

(3) 1Where there is an insufficient number of students there is no entitlement that requiredelective modules or elective modules pertaining to a specific field of study or area ofconcentration are taught. 2The same applies if a lecturer for a certain module is not availableat the Technische Universität München. 3The availability of courses for the area ofconcentration or field of study offered must be ensured.

(4)1

An FPSO may provide that the individual semester curriculum must be approved by thementor in charge in cooperation with the Examination Board. 2The mentor’s duties shall bestipulated in the FPSO.

(4) Periods of study, coursework and examination results spent at/acquired from universities orequivalent institutions of higher education abroad will as a rule be recognized by the relevantExamination Board unless they are not equivalent.

(5) 1Periods of study, coursework and examination results are deemed equivalent if theycorrespond in essence to those of the respective program at the Technische UniversitätMünchen with regard to content, scope and requirements. 2The assessment of such periodsof study, coursework and examination results shall not be a schematic comparison, butrather an overall consideration and assessment. 3The recognition of periods of study,coursework and examination results spent/obtained outside of the Federal Republic ofGermany must be in compliance with the equivalence agreements approved by theKultusministerkonferenz [Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs in the Federal Republic of Germany] and the Hochschulrektorenkonferenz [Associationof Universities and Other Institutions of Higher Education in Germany] and the provisions setforth in university partnership agreements. 4In the absence of equivalence agreements theExamination Board will decide. 5In addition, the Zentralstelle für das ausländischeBildungswesen [Central Office of Foreign Education] of the Kultusministerkonferenz may beheard.

(6) 1The FPSO set forth the provisions for the recognition of examination results, in particular themaximum number of credits which may be recognized. 2The major part of the subject-relatedprograms must be completed at the Technische Universität München. 3The FPSO maystipulate different provisions for university collaborations and double degree programs.

(7) 1The students must submit the documentation required for the recognition of credits. 2Exceptfor the case mentioned in (1) sentence 2 recognition shall be granted only upon request. 3 Anapplication for recognition of examination results from earlier programs of study may be filedwith the Examination Board only once within the first study year at the Technische UniversitätMünchen.

(8) 1The Transcript of Records pursuant to § 26 includes grades for examinations recognized

from earlier programs; these grades count towards the overall grade if they have beencalculated in accordance with the same grading system applied at the Technische UniversitätMünchen. 2It is admissible to identify those grades in the Transcript of Records.

(9) If the grading system applied to examinations administered at universities or equivalentinstitutions of higher education and recognized by the Technische Universität München is notin compliance with the grading system pursuant to § 17 subsections (1) and (2), the gradesawarded by other universities/institutions of higher education will be converted according tothe following formula:

31 += x

minmax

N N

Nd N

−

−

x = converted grade to be determined

12

8/6/2019 BMC-Guide-2010


Nmax = best achievable gradeNmin = lowest pass gradeNd = grade achieved.

The grades calculated according to the above formula will have only one decimal place; there

will be no adjustment to the scale of grades mentioned in § 17, subsections (1) and (2).Subsection 8, sentence 2, shall apply accordingly.

(10) 1If conversion according to subsection (9) is not possible, the Examination Board shalldetermine the conversion key. 2Subsection (8), sentence 2, shall apply accordingly.

§ 17Grading of Examinations

(1) 1Only examinations completed individually by a student may be graded. 2The student’sgrades in each individual examination are expressed by the examiner according to thefollowing scale:

Grade 1 "very good" = excellent performance;

Grade 2 "good" = performance well above average;

Grade 3 "satisfactory" = average performance;

Grade 4 "sufficient" = performance meets the standards in spite ofdeficiencies;

Grade 5 "fail" = performance does not meet the standards becauseof substantial deficiencies.

3If an examination is to be graded by several examiners, § 18, subsection (11), shall apply.4The averaged grades will have only one decimal place, all further decimal places will bedisregarded without rounding. 5The same shall apply in the case of § 6, subsection (4),sentence 3.

(2) For the purpose of a more differentiated assessment, the above grades may be raised orlowered by 0.3; the grades 0.7 and 5.3 are not possible .

(3) The module grades are:up to 1.5 "very good";

1.6 to 2.5 "good";

2.6 to 3.5 "satisfactory";

3.6 to 4.0 "sufficient";

from 4.1 "fail".

(4) 1The overall grade will be calculated as the weighted grade of all modules including themodule “final examination”.2The grade weights of the individual modules correspond to thecredits awarded. 3If a module consists only of coursework, the corresponding credits will not

13

8/6/2019 BMC-Guide-2010


be counted towards the overall grade. 4In especially justified cases the FPSO may, to alimited extent, stipulate special weighting factors for individual modules. 5If a student hassuccessfully completed more elective modules than required, the student must notify theExamination Office [Prüfungsamt] which examination results should be counted. 6Thenotification must be delivered to the Examination Office; choice of the examinations to be

counted shall be binding.7

Should the Examination Office not receive a notification, the bestexamination results, up to the maximum number of credits stipulated in the FPSO for theelective module in question, will be counted towards the overall grade.

(5) The rating is based on the overall average and the passing categories correspond to thefollowing scale:

overall grade up to 1.2 "passed with high distinction"= outstanding performance;

overall grade 1.3 to 1.5 "passed with distinction"= particularly commendable performance;

overall grade 1.6 to 2.5 "passed with merit"= above-average performance;

overall grade 2.6 to 3.5 "passed"= average performance in all aspects;

overall grade 3.6 to 4.0 "conceded pass"= average performance except for a few defects.

(6) In addition to the grades pursuant to subsections 1 through 3 ECTS grades are awarded formodule examinations and for the final examination.

Grade A = best 10% of all students who successfully passed the examination,Grade B = next 25%,Grade C = next 30%,Grade D = next 25%,Grade E = next 10%.

(7) Where no sufficient statistical data are available for the calculation of a relative grade for theprogram in question, the following grading scale will be used until the necessary databasehas been compiled:

1.0 to 1.5 = Grade A = “Excellent”1.6 to 2.0 = Grade B = “Very good”2.1 to 3.0 = Grade C = “Good”3.1 to 3.5 = Grade D = “Satisfactory”3.6 to 4.0 = Grade E = “Sufficient”4.1 to 5.0 = Grade F = „Fail“.

§ 18Final Thesis

(1) 1The final thesis forms part of the final examination administered at the end of a module. 2Thismodule may, in addition, require a final colloquium or content-related courses consisting ofappropriate forms of teaching and learning. 3Until completion and submission of the final
