satisfactory - a performance that corresponds to the average requirements 4 = sufficient
- a performance that, despite its shortcomings, still meets the requirements
5 = not sufficient - a performance that no longer meets the requirements due to significant deficiencies.
Individual grades can be raised or lowered by 0.3 to intermediate values for a differentiated evaluation of the examination
performance; the grades 0.7; 4.3; 4.7; 5.3 are excluded.

of up to and including 1.5 = very good With an average of

an average of 4.1 and above = insufficient
(3) When calculating combined grades, only the first decimal place is taken into account. If there are several examiners for an individual performance, the
grade is calculated from the arithmetic mean of the individual assessments. If the module examination consists of several examination parts, the module
grade is calculated from the mean value of the grades of the examination parts weighted according to credit points.
(4) In addition to the scale of grades according to para. 2, a relative grade based on the currently valid version of the ECTS Users' Guide is
to be shown. The reference group should include a minimum size within up to three graduation cohorts, which is to be determined by
the faculty in each case. If the number of graduates does not reach the required minimum size, the transcript of grades for the relevant
graduation cohort must be included in the Diploma Supplement.

a) active musician or soloist
b) Arranger or composer
c) musical direction
d) project management.
(3) The examination board gives an assessment for the entire examination performance of the final module. This
commission then makes an overall assessment of the course. In the assessment, the examination committee should
summarize the student's overall study performance.
(4) The failed final examination or parts thereof can generally be repeated once. If it is also not passed in the repetition, it
is considered to have been definitively failed. Failed attempts at other universities within the scope of the Basic Law will
be taken into account. In this case, the student cannot continue their studies.
(5) The examination committee informs the candidate of the evaluation within one week after the examination in an
interview.

– Qualification goals and teaching content of the module,

powers of the University Council remain unaffected. The establishment and composition of the joint commission as well as the
financing, organization and management of the cross-university center are agreed by contract between the university
managements of the participating universities after confirmation by the academic senates. The Joint Commission can adopt a
statute.

concerned;

employment, that of the lecturer expires with the end of the teaching assignment; it does not expire if these guest
teachers are employed again in the immediately following semester.

direct or indirect service or official relationship with the State of Berlin and must not be involved with the Berlin University of the Arts in
accordance with their duties. However, honorary membership may be conferred on such persons if their membership has expired or
they have been relieved of their official duties.
The bodies of academic self-government can set their own rules of procedure. If there are no rules of procedure for a faculty
council, a joint commission with decision-making authority or an institute council, the rules of procedure of the Academic Senate
apply accordingly.
The calculation of terms of office according to § 49 Section 1 BerlHG is based on academic years within the meaning of § 29 Section 1 Clause 2
BerlHG. The term of office of student members can be reduced to one year.
Section 27 Deadlines
Deadlines in these basic regulations and in other legal provisions and rules of procedure of the university end at 3 p.m. on the
last day; the central electoral board can set a different time for elections in individual cases. If a deadline ends on a Saturday, a
Sunday or a public holiday, the next working day is decisive for keeping the deadline; if the deadline is calculated backwards, the
previous working day is decisive. Deadlines are hampered by the academic Christmas break; Legal regulations and rules of
procedure of the university can provide that certain deadlines are also suspended during the semester break.
(2) The President, the Deans and the Executive Directors shall immediately inform the responsible bodies of
decisions and measures that they have taken in urgent matters in place of the responsible bodies and bodies on
the basis of corresponding statutory or statutory authorizations.

the Academic Senate cannot deviate from this if it appoints the joint commission pursuant to para. 1 no. However, after
hearing the faculties involved, it can delegate further tasks to a joint commission that is yet to be established or to an
existing one. An application for this can also be submitted by one of the participating faculties or by the Joint Commission
