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 current version of an FPO automatically applies to students when they enrol for their first semester.
