No. The following rules determine the grade you receive for your Master’s degree:

1. The grades from the compulsory modules are always included in the
Master’s grade. The grades from the interdisciplinary compulsory
elective area (10 ECTS) have no influence on the Master’s grade.

2. If you have more than 120 ECTS credits, the grades of the modules
not covered under point 1 are taken into account in chronological
order. If a module is no longer required in this order, it will be
listed as “surplus” on the certificate.

3. For the module grades remaining after point 2, the best module grades
are selected.

The example below (in German) is based on the typical study plan from the
study and examination regulations for the Master’s programme in Statistics .

The first supervisor of a Master’s thesis must be from one of the institutions participating in the programme, e.g., at the School of Economics FU Berlin. Preferably, the first supervisor teaches courses from the Statistics Master’s programme. The second supervisor may be external but needs to be approved by the examination board.
