In addition, a seminar is set up in almost every profile that must be attended.

Abitur exams
Written exams
The Abitur exams take place after the fourth semester of the course. Three subjects are examined in writing. The written Abitur exams for the subjects at the higher level take five hours, while the subjects at the basic level take four hours. In the study level you take three core subjects, usually two at an advanced level and one at a basic level. At least one of the advanced core subjects and the profile-giving subject must be examined in writing.
Oral exams
The fourth exam is usually an oral exam, but it can also be replaced by a presentation. You also have the option of being examined voluntarily in a 5th examination in the form of a special learning achievement.
Abitur grade
The Abitur grade is made up of the achievements achieved during the course and in the Abitur exams.
Block I - Results from the study level
At least 32 semester results must be submitted here. In addition, any number of additional results, up to a maximum of 40 semester results, can be submitted. At least 200 of a maximum of 600 possible points must be achieved in this block in order to pass the Abitur.
Block II - Results from the Abitur examination
All results of the Abitur examination are included in the Abitur grade and are scored four times, provided that 5 Abitur exams have been passed. If the 5th examination in the form of the special learning achievement has not been taken, the four results are each scored five times. At least 100 of a maximum of 300 possible points must be achieved in the Abitur exams to pass.
The total number of points is obtained by adding both blocks and converting this into the Abitur grade using the point table.
