Starting the Program in the Summer Semester
Students beginning the Master program in the summer semester should observe the following:
The mandatory modules ("Pflichtmodule") are usually offered in the winter semester. Thus, students beginning the program in the summer semester may only take the core elective modules ("Wahlpflichtmodule"), whereby it is recommended to select modules from the general core elective section ("Allgemeiner Wahlpflichtbereich") (i.e. without a restricted number of participants). A further reason for this recommendation is that registration for modules in the specialized core elective section (Spezieller Wahlpflichtbereich") with a restricted number of participants is implemented BEFORE the semester begins.
