Semester Notes

• Official registration period for all courses in Campus Management is October 1 - November 20, 2020
  Booking in Campus Management is required for all courses! Some classes consist of more than one course (...1/2, ... a/b/c). For recognition in the corresponding module all courses must be booked.
• Some courses also require an additional registration in Whiteboard.(Guide to Whiteboard System). If you can't find a course in Whiteboard, a registration in Whiteboard is problably not needed. In case of doubt, please ask the lecturer.
• Please note: Due to the current situation, no face-to-face session will take place until further notice! Teaching will continue to be offered mainly via video conference (Webex), with only a few face-to-face sessions.
  In the course catalog,
  
  • Webex meetings are indicated by a "Virtual Room xx". The final Meeting links will be provided through the lecturer, either on Whiteboard on Blackboard or by e-mail.
  • face-to-face-sessions are indicated by actual rooms.
• The language of instruction in all master programs can be German or English. However, it has to be English if students without sufficient knowledge of German participate in a course. (There may be exceptions for courses that originate from other programs).
• If you have any general questions concerning the stucture or organization of the program please contact the course coordinator or the examination office.

Students Enrolled Under the Old (2012) Study Regulations

• Please follow the rules of the old regulations and observe the transition and recognition rules.

Please note: The courses offered in accordance with the old study regulations are guaranteed up to and including the summer semester 2021. After that, a change to the new study regulations should be made. For the transition, degrees according to the old study regulations will still be admitted up to and including summer semester 2022, so that Master's theses, for example, can still be completed. From winter semester 22/23 on, no more degrees according to the old study regulations are possible!
Of course, credits for the old regulations are still possible for the new study regulations.
