Current timetable

Dear students,

The timetables for the summer semester 2025 have been published.

Please note that you must register for all courses (compulsory and elective courses) via the HiO (His-in-One) platform.

Only after this registration will you receive information about the course from the respective lecturer, e.g. moodle enrolment data. Registration is particularly important for practical courses, courses with groups and compulsory elective courses, as otherwise you will not be considered for group allocation.

Registration in HiO is possible from 17 February 2025, please register early.

Method seminars

Registration periods

  • 1st registration phase for the methods seminars in HIO: 17.02.2025 to 09.03.2025
  • Admission allocation for the registrations received in HIO: 11/03/2025
  • 2nd registration phase for open places in HIO: 12.03.2025 to 30.04.2025

General procedure

Please also check your status in HiO after the first allocation. The allocation takes place continuously throughout the semester, as places become available again and again.
registered = applied for seminar place
registered and admitted = received seminar place

Please note the following rule: If you are assigned to a block seminar and do not attend without cancelling your registration via HiO at least 48 hours (2 days) in advance, you will be automatically excluded from all other seminars in this semester and placed on a blacklist!

Attendance at FB07 method seminars is recorded in HiO.
You will receive a certificate for external seminars (summer/winter academy etc.). Please note that you are responsible for keeping your certificates until they are posted, as it is often not possible to issue them retrospectively/again.

If you have achieved the required credit points for the Methodology Seminars module, please list all achievements that are to be credited in the overview of achievements for crediting for the Methodology Seminar (routing slip). These will be checked by the chair of the examination board using HiO or other attached documents. The methods seminar is then recorded as a whole in the examinations office.
It is not possible to record partial points.

Advanced seminars

The "Oberseminar" is compulsory for all students on the Bachelor's degree programmes. It is linked to the Bachelor's thesis and therefore cannot be brought forward to earlier semesters. Please refer to the guidelines for details on how it is organised and register for it using the online form.

Projects (5th sem.)

Master R&D projects

The Examination Board has defined regulations for the awarding of research and development projects in the Master's degree programmes, which you can view here. Among other things, they state that you must apply in writing to Prof Dr Mahltig for such an R&D project. Download the registration form, fill it out and sign it together with the person submitting the topic. Then submit it to Prof Dr Mahltig.

In the new examination regulations "PO 2017" introduced from WS 17/18, the R&D projects are graded.

Curriculum

The curriculum, also known as the study programme plan, is part of the examination regulations. It lists which coursework and examinations must be completed in order to obtain a Bachelor's or Master's degree.

The chronological sequence of study elements outlined in the curriculum is not compulsory for students. However, the plan shows how the degree programme can be completed within the standard period of study. It should also be borne in mind that the courses offered and semester timetables are based on the study plan.

You will also find the module handbooks and study plans of the expired examination regulations from 2010 in the dropdown on the right.

Module manuals

Module handbooks provide detailed information about the content of the courses, the knowledge that is required and the recommended literature.

In the PO 2017, we show the module handbooks for the study directions and specialisations separately. There are also separate module handbooks for the compulsory elective subjects (WPF).

Please note: Courses are of course constantly updated and may therefore differ in detail from the module handbook.
