Your semester and study planning
You have a lot of freedom when planning your degree programme. This gives you the chance to tailor your semester to your personal wishes. However, too much freedom can quickly become challenging. Good and structured planning is the framework for every successful degree programme. For this reason, we have compiled the most important information about semester and study planning for you on this page.

The profiling phase
It can be helpful to set specialisations during your studies. The specialisation phase allows you to customise your studies. In accordance with the standard period of study, it comprises four semesters during which 120 ECTS (120 of 180 ECTS) should be completed. Here, students can choose modules from different subject areas (majors) according to their own interests, against the background of certain requirements, so that specific specialisations can be set in the Bachelor's degree programme.
Do you need help with planning?
At the beginning of your studies, it can be difficult to develop your own learning rhythm and good time management, which often leads to excessive demands and stress. To prevent these difficulties, the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics offers you various services, such as Wiwi Coaching or the various tutorials to deepen your learning content.
