Departmental Examination Regulations/Degree Plans/Module Handbooks/Internship Regulations
Departmental Examination Regulations (known in German as Fachprüfungsordnungen, or FPOs) define the basic structures of a degree program (including admission requirements and curriculum). Students are automatically subject to the current version of an FPO when they enroll for their first semester. Even if a new FPO is issued during your studies, you will still be subject to the rules of the original version according to which you enrolled (presuming the FPO has not otherwise been revoked).
Each degree plan represents the recommended ideal course of study for a given subject and is a constituent part of any FPO.
Supplementary regulations and detailed information for each module (such as requirements for taking a written examination and the content of the modules/events) can be found in the module handbooks.
The internship regulations define the conditions under which the compulsory or optional internships must be completed.
Before the start of the lecture period, we recommend that you review the degree plan for your degree program so that you know which modules are planned for the start of your studies.
