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.

Examination regulations and curricula

The examination regulations contain the legal basis for your degree programme. You should therefore always refer to them and take a look at the compulsory modules and elective options in order to plan your degree programme in the best possible way.

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.

Planning the profiling phase

In the profiling phase, you largely decide for yourself which modules you choose. It is therefore extremely important, especially during the second semester, that you consider your interests and plan the further course of your studies.
