Modules at the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics

During your degree programme, you will take modules consisting of one or more courses. In addition to the courses, such as lectures, tutorials or seminars, a module also contains an examination.

Credit points are awarded according to the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) for the time spent on a module. The amount of time spent on courses is given in semester hours per week (SWS).

Which and how many modules you have to take within your compulsory and elective areas is specified in your study plan or examination regulations. You can find an overview of the modules available for selection together with more detailed information in the module catalogue or module handbook.

Tu­tori­al: How do I re­gister for mod­ules?

How do I plan my semester?

Every semester you have to think about which modules you would like to take. It is therefore important that you know where to find information about the modules, when and how to register for modules and how deregistration works if necessary. All of this is part of semester planning!

How do I re­gister for mod­ules in PAUL?

Once you have decided which modules you would like to choose, it's time to register in PAUL, Paderborn University's assistance system, which is used to manage all registrations and deregistrations in the degree programme. In the video you can see an example of how enrolment is technically carried out in PAUL.

How do I re­take a mod­ule?

If you have already deregistered from an examination or failed it, take a module again. This changes the registration process. You will no longer be automatically registered for the exam, but will have to register for it yourself. You can see exactly what you need to do in the video example.
