Dates and deadlines

Universities have their own calendar, so to speak. The academic year consists of the winter and summer semesters, abbreviated to WiSe and SoSe respectively. At FH Aachen, the winter semester formally begins on 1 September and ends on 28/29 February, while the summer semester formally begins on 1 March and ends on 31 August. However, the lecture period usually only begins in mid-September or mid-March and ends in mid-January or mid-June. Written examinations are taken during the first three weeks of the semester break. Only then does the so-called semester break begin.

Many lectures include practical trainings for which you have to register. The professor responsible for the module determines how to register for the practical training associated with the lecture and - very importantly - the deadlines by which you can register for this practical training. It is therefore strongly recommended that you attend the first course and lectures of the semester, as this is where you will be informed about the deadlines and the internship registration process. Some FB8 professors also provide information on how they handle this on their homepage (see FB8 - Homepage: People). Some post information on Campus or Ilias. If you don't want to search, you should definitely attend the first lecture of the semester!
