Study organisation

Subject examination regulations/course plans/module manuals/internship regulations

Subject examination regulations (FPOs) define the basic structures of a course of study (e.g. entry requirements and content to be studied). For students, the current version of an FPO automatically applies when enrolling in the first semester. This means that even in the case of changes to the FPO during the course of studies, the original version according to which one has enrolled is valid (provided that this FPO does not expire).
The respective course plan represents the recommended exemplary course of study in the individual subjects and is part of an FPO.
Additional regulations and detailed information for each module to be studied can be found in the annex to the subject examination regulations (e.g. requirements for taking a written examination or information on the content of the modules/events, ...).
The traineeship regulations define the conditions under which the mandatory or optional traineeships must be completed.
Before the start of the lecture period, we recommend that you at least look at the course schedule of your course of study so that you know which modules are planned for the start of your studies.
