Elective Subjects upon request

Further elective subjects can be selected upon request by the examination board

The following steps are required to do so:

  1. First you have to create a curriculum that is approved by the coordinator of the subject area. The curriculum includes:
    • A list of courses to be attended
    • Credit points and the required examinations (to calculate the grade)
    • The curriculum should be signed by both, you and the coordinator
  2. An informal request for approval has to be sent to the examination board. The request includes:
    • The actual application with a brief justification why the elective course is benefical to your studies
    • The curriculum
  3. The approved request will then be forwarded to the central examination office.
