*You can only take the exam if you participated in the module. You may have to register separately for participation at or before the start of the semester. Check the module handbook, the course catalog on BASIS, and, if avaiable, the eCampus site in time. 
**If you started your Master's degree programme in Computer Science before or in the summer semester of 2023 and are, therefore, still studying according to the examination regulations of 2011/2014, you do not need to register for the second examination session: you only need to register for the first session. If you do not pass the exam in the first session (for example, due to deregistration, failure to appear, or an insufficient result), you will automatically be registered for the second session.
