The program concludes with a Master Thesis and colloquium. The regular tests take place in the two weeks before the next semester’s lectures begin. In this time, there are no other lectures to attend. In order to ensure that there are no large delays for the program, tests are retaken at the beginning of the lecture-free time during the summer semester.
