General information regarding ABV

According to the example study plan it is recommended to do an ABV course. The registration for those might be different to the Computer Science courses from the compulsory area. Some of them even have different registration periods.

The courses which are offered in the upcoming semester can be found in the Course catalog. Especially the courses from Zedat and the language courses from the language center have  their own application procedures and also different registration times.

Die im kommenden Semester verfügbaren ABV-Module könnt ihr dem Vorlesungsverzeichnis entnehmen. Insbesondere die ABV-Module der Zedat und die Sprachmodule des Sprachenzentrums haben ein eigenes Anmeldeverfahren.
