The legal basis of your studies and therefore worth reading are the respective study regulations (SO) and examination regulations (PO). You can find these documents on the university website and also on the website of the faculty.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhile the examination regulations determine what you have to achieve (in the form of examinations), the study regulations regulate the content and structure of the study programme.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThese regulations are binding for both sides. This means that as a student you are obliged to study according to the SO/PO if you want to graduate. However, this also means that no additional examinations or achievements not listed in the regulations may be required of you. In particular, there is no compulsory attendance at the University of Leipzig, only in very special cases such as laboratory practicals. However, if a professor or teacher deviates from the SO/PO to your disadvantage, talk to him/her, talk to the study office and/or contact us.
