Study organization
Examination regulations/program schedules/module
handbooks/internship regulations
Subject examination regulations (FPOs) define the basic
structures of a study program (e.g. admission requirements and
contents to be studied). For students, the current version of
an FPO automatically applies when they enroll in the first
subject-related semester. This means that even if the FPO is
changed during the course of studies, the original version
according to which one enrolled is still valid (provided that
this FPO does not expire). The respective study plan represents
the recommended exemplary course of studies in the individual
subjects and is part of an FPO. Supplementary regulations and
detailed information for each module to be studied can be found
in the module handbooks (e.g. requirements for taking a written
examination or information on the content of the
modules/courses). The internship regulations define the
conditions under which the mandatory or optional internships
must be completed.
Before the start of the lecture period, we recommend to consult
the study plan for your degree program to know which modules
are scheduled for the start of your studies.
- Module handbooks/program schedules/examination regularions will follow and will be published here.
