Registration for Modules and Courses

SELMA is the leading course and examination management system. Registration is possible from 13 October via this portal and is mandatory for participation in every examination. However, SELMA registration does not constitute enrolment for courses. An additional registration of courses via another system may be requested.

Registration for Exams

SELMA registration period for examinations depends on the type of exam. The exams are divided into different categories with different deadlines. Module registration is mandatory before exam registration.

Internships

Internships are voluntary and not part of the curriculum.
