of a module is determined on the basis of credit points: the credit points of a module divided by the sum of the credit
points of all modules included in the overall grade (§ 25, Paragraph 3, PVO).

§ 10
Come into effect

(1) These examination and study regulations come into force on the day after their announcement.
