- 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.

examination. If he or she does not comply with this request, the examination is deemed to have been failed.
(3) The examination board determines the examiners and announces them three weeks before the examination
date. The candidate can propose one of the examiners.

communicated to the students and justified orally. Students are issued with a module certificate (possibly with a grade) for a
passed module.

§ 16 Repetition of course-related examinations


(1) A failed examination can be repeated once four weeks at the earliest, calculated from the day of failure, usually before the
start of the lecture period of the following semester. If the type of examination does not allow this date, either another repeat
date or another type of examination that is suitable for checking the academic success of the candidate will be set. The repeat
examination must be taken no later than the beginning of the lecture period of the semester following the examination. In the
case of combined module examinations, each part of the examination that has not been passed must be repeated.

(2) If a module is finally failed, the course cannot be continued.


§ 17 Registration for the final examination
(1) Registration for the final module (module 1: mentor-supervised artistic project and master's concert) takes place at the beginning of
the first semester with the examination board.

a declaration by the candidate that he or she is familiar with the study and examination regulations;
a declaration as to whether the candidate has already failed a master's examination in a comparable course
or is in a pending examination procedure;
planned program for the public concert (master's examination).
(3) You can withdraw from the registration within eight weeks.
(4) The examination board decides on admission to the master's examination. Admission can only be granted if all required documents

the master concert: Presentation of an extensive program of approx. 45 minutes, with mostly own compositions from the field
of jazz
a detailed written concert information, which is to be submitted to the examination committee before the concert.
(2) Furthermore, the examination committee assesses the master's concert, including the performance, as
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.

§ 20 Recognition of periods of study, study and examination achievements


(1) Study and examination achievements that were completed at other German or foreign universities (within and outside of the

agreement of April 11, 1997 on the recognition of qualifications in the higher education sector of the European region (Lisbon
Convention; Federal Law Gazette 2007 II p. 712) as long as there are no significant differences to the contrary. Here, no
schematic comparison is decisive, but the overall consideration and overall evaluation. The equivalence agreements approved by
the Conference of Ministers of Education and the Conference of University Rectors as well as agreements within the framework
of university cooperation and partnerships must be observed for the crediting of achievements at foreign universities. In
addition, if there are doubts about comparability, the Central Office for Foreign Education can be consulted. Failed exams are to
be counted towards the repeatability of exams. The examination board decides on the crediting upon request. If the application
is not accepted, reasons must be given in writing.
(2) Competences that have been acquired outside the universities are to be credited up to half of the planned credit
points.

reason or if he/she withdraws after the start of an examination without good reason.
(2) The reasons given for the absence or the withdrawal must be reported to the examination board immediately and made
credible. In the event of illness, a medical certificate must be submitted. The examinee will be informed of the decision on the
recognition or non-recognition of the asserted reasons by the examination board. If the reasons for the absence or withdrawal
are accepted, a new date will be set. In this case, already existing services are to be recognized.
(3) If the examinee attempts to influence the result of his/her examination performance through cheating or by using non-
approved aids, the examination will be graded as “inadequate”. In particularly serious cases, the examination board can
determine that a repetition is not possible.
(4) The examinee has the right to have the decisions according to paragraphs 1 and 3 reviewed by the examination board within eight
weekdays. A written application must be submitted for this.
(5) The Examination Board is obliged to inform the examinee immediately of decisions that are incriminating, to justify them and to
provide instructions on legal remedies. In the cases listed in paragraphs 1 and 3, the examinee is to be heard by the examination board.

§ 22 Authority to process data and view examination files


(1) The examination board is authorized to process the personal data listed in these examination regulations to the
extent necessary to fulfill the tasks assigned to it. The transmission is only permitted on the basis of a special legal
provision. The audit committee can keep anonymous business statistics.

its behalf. Written examination papers must be kept for two years. Non-written examination papers, especially artistic
work, can be documented in digital form. The retention period for documentation in digital form is two years.

(3) Within one year after completion of an examination, the candidate is granted access to his or her examination documents within a
reasonable period of time upon request. The examination board determines the place and time of the inspection in agreement with the

performances and, in cases of failure, a reason be. The protocol must be signed by all examiners involved in the
examination and by the student assessor.

§ 24 Entry into force, expiration, transitional regulations


(1) These examination regulations come into force on the day after their publication both in the gazette of the Berlin University of the
Arts and in the official bulletin of the Hanns Eisler Academy of Music.
(2) At the same time, the examination regulations for the "Master of Music (Jazz)" course of November 16, 2004 (UdK Gazette

§ 18 First Membership
(1) Membership (initial membership) in the faculties and institutions (scientific, artistic-scientific and artistic
institutions) results from the
1. University members who are employed by the university, from the allocation of the position shown in the
position plan or from the allocation to the funds from which they are paid;
2. Persons who are paid from third-party funds and who, with the consent of the President, work full-time at the
university from the membership of the university member who employs them;
3. Honorary professors and private lecturers (including extraordinary professors) from a resolution of the
faculty council or institute council at the request of the person concerned;

4. Lecturers and visiting teachers from a resolution of the faculty council or institute council at the request of the person
concerned;
5. Students and doctoral candidates with an option for a faculty of their degree program and - if available - an
institute of this faculty.
(2) A university member can only be a primary member of one faculty and only one member group in accordance with § 45
BerlHG; if it is a first member of a faculty, it can also be a first member of an institute of this faculty. If there is a right to
membership in several organizational units or in several member groups according to paragraph 1, an employment relationship
establishes the first membership. If there is no employment relationship, the university member can opt for one of these options
with the President; the option can only be changed at the beginning of a semester until the end of the re-registration period.

§ 19 Secondary Membership
(1) A university member can be a member of other organizational units (secondary membership) in addition to the first membership in accordance
with § 18 in accordance with this provision, but only a second member of an institute if they are also a member (first or second member) of the
relevant faculty. Secondary members have the same rights as first members, with the exception of the right to vote and the right to participate in
the faculty council regarding appointment proposals, habilitations and habilitation and doctorate regulations.
(2) A university member can acquire one or more secondary memberships if this is justified by their qualifications and is
useful for the cooperation.
(3) Secondary membership pursuant to paragraph 2 is established by resolution of the faculty council or institute council upon application or with the subsequent consent
of the member. It expires at the end of the first membership, through a declaration of resignation or through a resolution of the faculty council or institute council.

§ 20 Termination of Membership
(1) The membership of a university member who is employed by the university expires when the employment
relationship ends. The membership status of a university teacher who has been released from duties remains
unaffected.
(2) The membership of guest professors and guest lecturers expires with the termination of the freelance
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.
(3) The membership of third-party funded employees according to § 18 Section 1 No. 2 expires with the termination of their main professional
activity at the university or with the expiry of the membership of the member who employs them.
Gazette of the Berlin University of the Arts 3 / 2015 from March 20, 2015 page 101

(4) The membership of persons according to § 18 Section 1 No. 3 expires when they reach the age limit for retiring
female university teachers.
(5) The membership of students and doctoral candidates ends with de-registration.
§ 21 Requirements for honorary membership
(1) As a rare award, the university can bestow the dignity of an honorary member (§ 2 Para. 6 BerlHG). The award
requires significant services to the university. The award can also be given with the title of honorary senator.

(2) An honorary member may neither be a member of the university nor its university council. An honorary member may not have a
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.

§ 22 Responsibility for the award


Honorary membership is awarded by the Academic Senate at the suggestion of the President or a faculty. The application must
be accompanied by a justification and the curriculum vitae of the person to be honored. The Academic Senate consults at least
three expert opinions before the final decision is made.

§ 23 Withdrawal of honorary membership

Honorary membership can be revoked if


1. Essential prerequisites for the award were mistakenly assumed to be given or
2. the honorary member has proved unworthy of honorary membership through his later conduct.

§ 24 Further activities of university teachers after the end of the


employment relationship
(1) After retirement, the university lecturers are entitled to the rights associated with the authorization to teach to hold
courses and to participate in examinations. You are entitled to supervise research work and artistic projects and to carry
out research work and artistic projects started before retirement. The same applies to persons pursuant to Section 18
Paragraph 1 No. 3 whose membership has expired pursuant to Section 20 Paragraph 4.
(2) For important reasons, the faculty council can decide on temporary further employment for university teachers if they
resign from their employment before entering retirement. An important reason is, in particular, the perception of
matters in teaching and research that were started before the end of the employment relationship and must be
completed in the public interest. These duties must be personal and non-transferrable. This includes the processing of
research work, diploma, bachelor's or master's theses, dissertations and habilitation theses, artistic projects,
participation in university and state examinations, the awarding of certificates.
(3) The resolution pursuant to paragraph 2 must have been passed by the faculty council before the end of the employment relationship and communicated
to the person(s) concerned. It becomes effective with the consent of the person concerned.
(4) Any other activity according to paragraphs 1 and 2 does not justify a claim for payment from the Berlin University of the Arts.
(5) In the case of the completion of research projects, the further activity according to paragraph 2 should be limited to the end of the semester
following the resignation. It may not exceed a maximum period of three years, even in the case of repeated resolutions on the continuation.

Fourth Section: Procedures for the bodies of academic self-government

Section 25 Rules of Procedure

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.

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.

§ 28 Information obligation and right

the Institute Council without voting rights; the members without the right to vote have the same rights and obligations as the members entitled to
vote, with the exception of the right to vote.

particular which competences of which faculty councils are to be transferred to it;
4. the number of members and their distribution among the member groups and the participating faculties, taking into account Section 74, Paragraph 4
of the BerlHG.
(4) Insofar as a decision to appoint a joint commission pursuant to para. 1 no. 1 is the same for all participating faculties,
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

result, the lot decides. If the number of persons elected in this way is not sufficient to fill the seats, further persons are elected
using the same procedure.
(3) The term of office of members of permanent joint commissions is generally based on the term of office of the faculty
councils. Re-election is permitted. If a seat becomes vacant, a by-election will take place if there are no substitutes. A
subsequently elected member takes up the current term of office of his or her predecessor.
