6. FAQ

What do the names like “module” or “course” mean?

  • Every course has a title that can change from semester to semester. However, what is relevant to the study and exam regulations is the name of the link between the module and the course which remains the same over the entire lifespan of the module.
  • The fixed designation that is linked to the courses the course offering (Lehrangebot) in the module over the course of its lifetime is the relevant designation for the study and exam regulations.
  • The course can, but must not, have the same name as the module.
