Important notes on the study plan

Modules:

  • The specified number of CP per semester should be regarded as a suggestion. Please consider your main subject modules when choosing your subsidiary subject modules.

    Recommendation:30 CP per semester in total, approx. 20 CP in your main subject and approx. 10 CP in your subsidiary subject.
  • You are not obliged to study the modules in the order or during the semesters indicated in the Study Plan. Since the modules build on each other in terms of content, we recommend keeping them in this order
    (O --> B --> P modules).
  • All O, B and P modules are offered each semester (mainly in german).
  • The offer of semi elective modules can vary each semester.

Maximum study period:

  • The Subsidiary Subject Examination Regulations do not specify a maximum study period for completing the subsidiary subject.
  • Observe any deadlines (maximum study period) that maybe stipulated in your Main Subject Examination Regulations.

Please be aware that you are studying with Bachelor’s main subject students of Economics and Business Administration or Business Education, for whom other regulations apply.
