Subject examinationregulations including study plans and module descriptions

In addition to the framework examination regulations (RPO-M) and the general subject-specific regulations of the subject examination regulations (PHIL-FPO-M), the subject examination regulations of the individual (partial) degree programs (FPOs) define the basic structures of a (partial) degree program (e.g. admission requirements and content to be studied). The subject examination regulations are accompanied by study course plans, which represent the recommended exemplary course of study in the individual subjects, as well as module descriptions (content-related information on modules).
The current version of an FPO automatically applies to students when they enrol for their first semester.
