Declaration of independence

Please note that failure to comply with the information in the declaration of independence constitutes an attempt to deceive within the meaning of Section 28 (1) of the Framework Regulations for Studies and Examinations at the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam. In accordance with § 28 para. 3, the responsible examination board can determine the final failure of an examination or the final loss of the right to take examinations in the degree programme in cases of repeated serious violations of the recognised rules for ensuring good academic practice.

Please note that this template does not apply to final theses (Bachelor's and Master's), as Section 20 (10) of the Framework Regulations for Studies and Examinations at University of Applied Sciences Potsdam requires a declaration with an affidavit. You can find the template here.
