Module overview
Module overview
- The semester dates refer to the start of the programme in the winter semester. Semesters 1 and 3 are then winter semesters, semesters 2 and 4 summer semesters.
- The semester details of the elective and compulsory elective modules are recommendations
- If a module is assigned to several semesters (e.g. 1+2), the module courses take place in different semesters.
- The modules are usually offered annually.
- The module code and the module name according to the examination regulations as well as the recommended semester are indicated.
- Recommendations for lateral entrants to the respective areas for the first semester are marked with *.
- The elective and compulsory elective modules each have 6 CP (credit points).
- The current status, dates and information on the individual modules can be found in the module handbook.
