Studies Induction and Orientation Stage (STEOP)

General Information

(1) Within the scope of the studies induction and orientation stage, which takes place in the first semester, the following course examinations must be passed:

  1. VO Introduction to Atmospheric Science (CM 4 lit. a/2 hrs. /4 ECTS-Credits),
  2. VO Introduction to Climatology (CM 4 lit. b/2 hrs. /5 ECTS-Credits),
  3. VO Physics I: Mechanics and Thermodynamics (CM 3 lit. a/4 hrs. / 6 ECTS-Credits).

(2) Successful passing of all exams of the Studies Induction and Orientation Stage entitles to passing all further courses and examinations as well as to writing the Bachelor’s Thesis.

(3) Before successful completion of the Studies Induction and Orientation Stage courses amounting to 16.5 ECTS-Credits may be passed. The requirements specified in the curriculum must be met.

(1) The Studies Induction and Orientation Stage (STEOP), with a duration of one semester (30 ECTS-Credits), provides an overview of the study programme and its structure in order to give students an objective basis to assess their decision to pursue their chosen subjects.

(2) During the Studies Induction and Orientation Stage, the following course examinations, which may be repeated twice, must be completed satisfactorily:

  1. VO Introduction to Atmospheric Science (PM 4 lit. a / 2 hours / 4 ECTS-Credits)
  2. VO Introduction to Klimatology (PM 4 lit. b / 2 hours / 3,5 ECTS-Credits)

(3) A positive result (passing grade) on the examinations specified in Paragraph 2 permits students to attend all courses and take all examinations following the Introduction and Orientation Phase for Students (STEOP) and to write a bachelor's thesis as described in the curriculum. The registration requirements specified by the curriculum must be met.

Information about examination regulations, assessment and grading

Examination regulations

The examination regulation is an integral part of the curriculum, detailed information can be found under the paragraph examination regulations.

The ECTS Grading Table is a statistical representation of the distribution of all successfully completed examinations in a given programme of study or subject (based on all registered students for the programme or subject). The ECTS Grading Table is updated in regular intervals.

ABCDE
 Austrian grading  scheme Definition  %-age
 1 EXCELLENT:  Outstanding performance 20.7= 100%
 2  GOOD:  Generally good, but with some errors 26.5
 3 SATISFACTORY:  Generally sound work with a number of substantial errors 27.6
 4 SUFFICIENT:  Performance meets the minimum cirteria 25.2
 5 INSUFFICIENT:  Substantial improvement necessary; requirement of further work
