1 INTRODUCTION
This study guide is designed to provide you with all the information that you will need
to study for the Master of Arts in International Business & Intercultural Management
and in International Tourism Management (MITM) (MIBIM) at the University of
Heilbronn.
It serves as a guide to the courses and their structure, assessment procedures
and regulations. Please do not hesitate to contact the Coordinators of the Master
Programmes if there are any elements of this guide which are not clear to you. We do
not expect you to read this study guide from cover to cover; rather it is designed as a
reference manual to be consulted as the need arise.
In addition to this study guide, you will also be given Guidelines for Academic
Writing. Whilst the study guide has been written to be as user friendly as possible, it
does inevitably contain an element of impersonal language as it acts as your official
manual for the courses.

5.3 Bus Connections between Campuses
You will study at the Campus “Am Europaplatz”. However, from time to time it will be
necessary to go to the other campus, e.g. if you need to deal with some administrative
issues with the Registers’s Office.
In order to reach Campus Sontheim from Campus “Am Europaplatz” two buses must
be taken, across the road from Campus “Am Europaplatz” you will find the
“Europaplatz Süd” bus stop, here you can take the number 30, 31, 32, or 40, 41, 42
into town. You must get off the bus at “Allee Post West” and then board the number
60, 61, 62, 63 or 64 to the bus stop appropriately named “Sontheimer Hochschule
HN”. Needless to say, the same buses should be taken if you wish to travel in the
opposite direction, however, the bus stops will go by the names of “Europaplatz West”
and “Allee Post Ost”.

6 LEARNING & TEACHING
6.1 Scheduled Classes and Independent Learning
Your scheduled classes, direct contact hours with professors, play a vital role in your
learning. These scheduled sessions can take many forms and methods (see section
8.3) and your lecturers will use methods which are suited to the learning in that unit.
Practical learning may involve methods such as workshop visits, case studies and
fieldwork. Theoretical or conceptual learning will involve mainly lectures and seminars.
However at every university you will find that you have a considerable amount of spare
time during the week when you do not have any contact hours.
You are expected to develop quickly in order to become an independent learner and
be able to manage your time to achieve your learning outcomes. Lecturers will give
you tasks to do outside class time where you are expected to work on your own using
learning resources as directed. In addition you will be expected to work in teams on
group projects and this will require you to co-ordinate your time with all group
members.
The section 7.2 provides a model for the allocation of study hours to help you manage
your time effectively between different activities of teaching, learning and assessment.
6.2 Student Workload
A 4-credit unit (4 ECTS) approximates to 120 learning hours across the taught
programme. Some of this will be in-class but the majority will involve independent and
group work on tasks directed by your unit lecturers. Credits are assigned to each
course, representing the scope of the course. One semester of study generally covers
30 ECTS.
6.3 Attendance
Students are expected to attend all scheduled teaching activities and undertake such
work as may be required of them.
In some instances, for good reason, class attendance is compulsory. Scheduled
classes occupy only a maximum of 25% of your study time. Due to this being your
main contact with your lecturers, it is important that you maximise your opportunity to
learn. Please ensure that other meetings, visits or appointments do not conflict with
class times. If you really cannot attend a class, please let the course lecturer know in
advance. Sustained absence will jeopardise your chances of success.
Student Handbook – Academic Year 2014 14
Campus Heilbronn
7 ASSESSMENT
7.1 Study and Exam Regulations
The legal basis of your studies is recorded in the Study and Exam Regulations. The
Study and Exam Regulations are composed of:
• General Regulations of 3-semester Master’s Programmes
• Specific Regulations of MIBIM or MITM.
Both documents are available as a download on our website under ‘Study and Exam
Regulations’.
MIBIM: https://www.hs-heilbronn.de/mibim/students
MITM: https://www.hs-heilbronn.de/mitm/students
7.2 Purpose of Assessment
The principles of assessment in the programmes can be summarised as follows:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
to ensure that consistent progress is maintained by students;
to ensure that learning outcomes are met;
to stimulate and consolidate learning;
to evaluate students’ knowledge, understanding and skills;
to achieve consistency of standards;
to meet the requirements for effective feedback;
to determine the levels of awards.
7.3 Type of Examination
A Master’s programme consists of different courses, categorised as lectures,
exercises, laboratory and seminars (see section 3 Structure and Curriculum of the
Master’s Programmes). A final thesis is obligatory in each programme, MIBIM and
MITM.
To successfully complete each course, you will be asked to undertake a variety of
assignments, for example: reports; essays; presentations; or written examinations.
7.3.1 Presentation and Practical Assignment
When preparing for an assignment, you will be required to read around the topic: using
books, journals, the Internet and other resources. This is valuable for your learning,
and helps to shape your opinion on a topic. However, you must make sure that the
work you submit is your own. You will, of course, use information from published and
unpublished materials, but you must use your own words when writing your essay,
otherwise you are guilty of plagiarism (see 8.12). Equally important, you must not
copy work from a fellow student. Even if you undertake group work, you must write
your essay, or your part of the essay, in your own words.
Assignments and presentations usually take place during the lecture period, prior to
the commencement of written exams.
Student Handbook – Academic Year 2014 15
Campus Heilbronn
7.3.2 Written Examination
Written exams will usually be held after the lecture period. The examination period
lasts approximately 3 weeks. The duration of each written examination is either 90 or
120 minutes. Some examinations will consist of a group of subjects within one written
examination.
7.3.3 Master’s Thesis
Students can apply for topics of the Master’s thesis earliest at the beginning of the
third semester (see Appendix C Master’s Thesis Registration Form). Students need
guidance professors for their Master’s thesis (please refer to the list in Appendix B).
The period for completing the Master’s thesis is six months.
The Master’s thesis constitutes the examination work of the academic education. It
shall prove the candidate’s ability to handle problems independently in the field
studied, using scientific methods and it must include an empirical element.
Your chosen topic will formally be endorsed by the chairperson of the examination
board. The date on which the topic is issued shall be noted down in the examination
record.
The Master’s thesis must be submitted in three copies by the last day of the period
allocated for its writing. Otherwise it will be considered graded “not sufficient” (5.0).
The date of submission shall be officially recorded. When submitting their Master’s
thesis, the candidate has to affirm in writing that their work has been composed
independently and no other sources and means other than those specified have been
used.
The submitted Master’s thesis is assessed by two examiners (guidance professor plus
another professor).
7.4 Registration for Examination
Each semester, you will register at the examination registration database (see
Appendix E) for all courses you are attending during the semester. The time period of
registering for all examinations is listed in section 4: “Semester Schedule”.
For Master’s thesis registration, please see 8.3.3.
7.5 Grading Scheme
Performance for each examination is evaluated by the particular lecturer of the course.
For the evaluation the following grades are used.
1 = “very good”
= a very outstanding achievement
2 = “good”
= a considerable achievement above the average performance
3 = “satisfactory”
= an achievement which complies with average performance in
every aspect,
4= “sufficient”
= an achievement which in spite of its deficiencies complies with
the minimum performances
5 = “not sufficient”
= an achievement which does not suffice anymore because of
severe deficiencies
Student Handbook – Academic Year 2014 16
Campus Heilbronn
Intermediate values may also be used in grading process: 1.3; 1.7; 2.3; 2.7; 3.3; 3.7.
The examination is passed if it was graded with at least “sufficient” (4.0).
Where the unit is assessed by a combination of formally defined separate elements of
assessment, a pass will be awarded where the total unit mark is at least 50% and the
mark in each separate component of the unit assessment is not less than 46%.
The Master’s exams are passed, when the mark of the Master’s thesis and the marks
of all subjects are at least passed with “sufficient” (4.0). The overall mark is calculated
by the average of the weighted marks (assigned credits) of the subjects. In the
certificate the particular grade is named with the following terms:
with an average up to 1.5
“very good”
with an average above 1.5 to 2.5
“good”
with an average above 2.5 to 3.5
“satisfactory”
with an average above 3.5 to 4.0
“sufficient”
7.6 Repeating of Examinations
Failed examinations, assignments and presentations will have to be repeated within
the following semester if possible, unfortunately in the Master’s programme this is not
always possible and instead repetitions must take place in the semester following the
subsequent semester. You are asked to inform the course coordinator about the
failure of the course.
A second repetition is possible only if the examination board agrees and can only take
place during the following regular examination period.
If the Master’s thesis is graded with “not sufficient” (5.0), the student may make a
request to the examination board for a repetition with a new topic.
7.7 Assessment Policy
Feedback on presentations and written papers
Students may receive feedback on all presentations and written papers, to receive
individual feedback it is important that the student asks the relevant professor. All
feedback will clearly describe and explain the performance against the assessment
criteria and will be sufficient to ensure the student understand why they received the
mark they did, and how they could have gained additional marks.
Feedback on examinations
Students do not have automatic access to their marked examination papers.
However, if a student wishes to see the marked examination paper, they may request
this information from the relevant lecturer.
Student Handbook – Academic Year 2014 17
Campus Heilbronn
7.8 Extensions for Submission of Coursework
Failure to submit a piece of coursework by the required deadline will result in a mark of
5.0.
7.8.1 Granting Extensions
Given that most assignments run within a timeframe of 3-5 weeks, extensions will only
be granted in exceptional circumstances. In particular, extensions will only be
considered where the circumstances stated are related to matters which could not
have been reasonably foreseen and therefore planned for.
In requesting an extension, you are expected to do so within the time frame allocated
for the assignment. Extensions will not be granted after the expiration of assignment
submission deadline.
The main criteria under which extensions are normally granted are described below.
Medical circumstances
• If you are making a request for an extension on the basis of medical
circumstances you will be expected to provide the relevant medical evidence to
support your request.
• Please note that medical circumstances will only be accepted where they are of
sufficient gravitas to prevent assignment research and/or production taking
place.
IT and other resource-based circumstances
Extensions for IT and other resource-based issues will usually not be considered.
In particular, extensions will not be granted on the basis of printing queues, lack of
resources, and/or compatibility of technology etc.
Where a hard drive or other major failure has occurred, you will need to provide
supporting evidence, if requesting an extension.
Other extenuating circumstances
• Other circumstances which, with the relevant written evidence, may be
regarded as a legitimate reason, might include:
• Family problems including the illness of immediate family members and/or
close relatives and friends,
• Loss of family members, friends etc.
• Please note that the attendance at a wedding, interview and/or family holiday is
not regarded as grounds for an extension. In such situations, you are expected
to submit the assignment early, rather than be granted an extension.
7.8.2 The Extension Process
If you are requesting an extension you should complete the standard extension form
(see Appendix D). This must be signed off by both the responsible professor and the
Dean of the programme.
Student Handbook – Academic Year 2014 18
Campus Heilbronn
The form should then be returned to the Master’s Programmes Office.
Please note that extensions will normally only be granted for one calendar week in the
first instance, although this is at the discretion of the Programme Dean.
7.9 Absence, Withdrawal, Deception
An examination performance is considered as graded with “not sufficient” (5.0) if the
examinee, without severe reasons does not appear for an examination or withdraws
from the examination. The examination board must be immediately informed about the
reasons for the withdrawal or absence in written form and it must be made plausible.
In regards to illness, an official confirmation has to be presented. The illness of the
candidate is equivalent to the illness of a child that is mainly under his or her care. If
the reasons are recognised a new examination appointment will be given.
Plausible grounds for excusable withdrawal must be promptly reported in writing to the
Dean of the programme. In case of sickness, a medical certificate will be needed.
Should the examinee try to influence his or her result of the examination through
deception or with the use of not approved devices the concerned examination
performance will be graded “not sufficient” (5.0).
7.10 Flaws in the Examination Procedure
If it can be demonstrated that the examination procedure was significantly flawed in a
way that could have influenced the exam results, upon application from the respective
persons or department, a retaking of the exam in whole or in part must be arranged.
Alleged flaws in the examination procedure must be notified to the examiner
immediately.
7.11 Additional Subjects
To participate on the Master’s programme you need to have 210 ECTS obtained from
your bachelor’s degree, it is not unusual to have obtained just 180 ECTS and this will
not hinder you. In order to obtain the missing 30 ECTS credits you can choose from a
list of courses included in the bachelor’s programmes. Only choose advanced level
courses. All courses have to be agreed with the Master’s Programmes Office and
acknowledged by the examination board.
One is allowed to take exams in additional subjects. The result of the exams of the
additional subjects can be mentioned in the certificate if requested by the student, but
will not influence the overall mark.
7.12 Assessment Offences
7.12.1 Principles
Upon entering higher education, students commit themselves to a process of
becoming recognised by society as having achieved a certain level of learning. A
student who misleads society as to the authenticity of this achievement is
Student Handbook – Academic Year 2014 19
Campus Heilbronn
academically dishonest not only to those on whom the deception is practised, but also
to him or herself. The dishonesty relates to the process of education in that the
evidence on which society's recognition is based has been obtained in an unethical
manner, and to the outcome of education in that the level of achievement is based on
a false claim.
The maintenance of fair and honest conduct is therefore an essential requirement of
the system for assessing students' learning and it is in their and the University's
interests that this should be the guiding principle at all times. Academic dishonesty is
a serious offence and it is important that the duties and rights of all those involved with
the assessment process be clearly defined and effectively publicised.
7.12.2 Definitions
Academic dishonesty may be defined as any attempt by a student, or any attempt by
an individual to aid a student, to gain an unfair advantage in any assessment
(including an assessment of practice or an assessment in practice) by deception or
fraudulent means.
Academic dishonesty may be exhibited in a number of ways of which the following are
examples.
(i)
Aiding and supporting a student in any form of dishonest practice.
(ii)
Bribery: paying or offering inducements to another person to obtain or to attempt
to obtain an unfair advantage.
(iii)
Calculator fraud: the use of unauthorised material stored in the memory of a
programmable calculator with storage facilities.
(iv) Collusion: the representation of a piece of unauthorised group work is the work of
a single candidate.
(v)
Commissioning another person to complete an assignment which is then
submitted as the student's own work.
(vi) Computer fraud - The use of the material which belongs to another person and
which is stored on a hard or floppy disk without acknowledgement and/or without
the written permission of the owner.
(vii) Duplication: the inclusion in coursework of any material which is identical or
substantially similar to material which has already been submitted for any other
assessment within the university or elsewhere (for example, the use of essay
banks).
(viii) False declarations made in order to receive special consideration by a board of
examination to obtain extensions to deadlines or exemption from work.
(ix) Falsification of data: the presentation of data, e.g. in laboratory reports, projects,
clinical profiles, assessment portfolios, based on work alleged to have been
carried out by the student, but which have been invented by the student or
altered, copied or obtained by unfair means.
(x)
Forgery: the falsification of signature(s) or documents related to certification or
assessment.
Student Handbook – Academic Year 2014 20
Campus Heilbronn
(xi) Misconduct in examinations or tests: behaviour aimed at gaining an unfair
advantage, for example:
•
taking unauthorised materials into an examination or test;
•
obtaining an advance copy of an "unseen" written examination or test paper;
•
communicating, or trying to communicate, in any way with another student
during an examination or test;
•
copying from another student;
•
leaving the examination or test venue to consult pre-hidden cribs/notes;
•
removing any items of stationery or other materials from the examination or
test venue without permission or contrary to instructions.
(xii) Impersonation: arranging or attempting to arrange for another person to take
one's place in an examination or test; or being a party to an impersonation.
(xiii) Plagiarism: the representation of another person's work as one's own or the use
of another person's work without acknowledgement, for example:
•
the direct importation into one's work of more than a single phrase from
another person's work without the use of quotation marks and identification
of the source;
•
making a copy of all or part of another person's work and presenting it as
one's own
•
by failing to disclose the source;
•
making extensive use of another person's work, either by summarising or
paraphrasing it merely by changing a few words or altering the order of
presentation, without acknowledgement;
•
the use of the ideas of another person without acknowledgement of the
source, or the submission or presentation of work as one's own which is
substantially the ideas or intellectual data of another.
7.12.3 Responsibilities
It is the responsibility of staff to frame assessment requirements and procedures in a
clear and unambiguous manner in the light of the guidelines.
It is the responsibility of students to acquaint themselves with these guidelines and to
act in accordance with them.
7.12.4 Academic Offences Procedure
Where an academic offence is suspected the evidence will be considered initially by
the relevant lecturer, the Dean of the programme and a senior academic. Such
evidence may have come to light through a variety of means including the use of
plagiarism detection software.
Where the preliminary consideration concludes that there is evidence to indicate that
an academic offence may have occurred, the student shall be informed of this in
writing and the matter shall be remitted to the Academic Programme Committee. The
Student Handbook – Academic Year 2014 21
Campus Heilbronn
student must also be informed that advice and guidance can be obtained from the
Student Advice Centre.
7.12.5 Penalties
In considering which penalty to impose, the Academic Programme Committee shall
take into consideration the seriousness of the offence. Relevant precedents should
also be considered.
7.12.6 Appeals Stage
Students have the right to appeal against decisions made by the Academic
Programme Committee or by the Examination Board. Any student wishing to lodge an
appeal must do so within 10 working days of official notification by the Committee or
by the Examination Board.
