Registering for Courses and Examinations

Incoming students have to register for courses and examinations from the English department using the platform Marvin. 

Registering for Courses

The registration period for incoming students starts on October 1st (winter term) and April 1st (summer term). The end of the registration period is usually a week later, but have a look at the dates and deadlines for the current semester.

To register for a course, go to Marvin and select a module that you want to complete during your stay in Marburg. Then register for all courses that are associated with that module. Sometimes you can choose between different courses. As an example, take the module North American Literature and Culture I. This module consists of one lecture-style course (UE) and one intermediate level seminar (PS). Usually we only offer one option for the lecture-style course, which you have to register for, and multiple options for the intermediate level seminars, out of which you only have to register for one. More information and step-by-step instructions can be found on our department's website.

Registering for Examinations

Besides registering for courses, you also have to register for the examinations that you need to pass in order to complete a module, get a grade and ECTS points. Usually, you can start registering for examinations once the semester starts and registration will be open for about three weeks. Make sure to take a look at the specific dates and deadlines for the current semester.

To register for exams, go to Marvin and click on Mein Studium and then on Studienplaner mit Modulplan. There, you can see all your previous registration and can also deregister from exams if you want. From there, you click on Prüfungen anzeigen, which shows you all the possible registrations you can do. In the list, a green puzzle piece shows a module, whereas a star shows a possible examination that you can register for. Click on Anmelden, which opens up more details on the examination. Click on Anmelden again, enter your TAN, and press OK, to finalize your registration. You can always double-check whether your registration went through by clicking on Mein Studium and then on Studienplaner mit Modulplan again. More information can be found on our department's website.
