Regulations and Explanatory Documents

The regulations and explanatory documents for the Bachelor’s and Master’s study programs mentioned below are available from the website of the Office of Student Affairs.

  • The legal framework for the Bachelor’s and Master’s study programs at the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences is set out in the Framework Ordinance (Rahmenverordnung).
  • The Program Regulation (Studienordnung) contains the implementation provisions for the Framework Ordinance. It consists of a general section and a number of program-specific appendices. The general section governs the cross-program aspects of the course of study. The program-specific appendices to the Program Regulation contain the regulations specific to each program.
  • The Catalogue of Modules (Modulkatalog) describes the recurring compulsory and core elective modules of the relevant study program. The range of elective modules offered varies and is described in the Course Catalogue (Vorlesungsverzeichnis) for each semester, together with the compulsory and core elective modules offered.
  • The Standard Curriculum (Mustercurriculum) can assist you in putting together your own study path. It shows a possible course of study, in which all the requirements for passing the degree are fulfilled within the standard period of time. However, other courses of study are possible within the framework of the regulations.
  • The Guidelines (Wegleitung) contain further explanations and recommendations for students. It is important to distinguish between the Guidelines for Studying at the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences and the program-specific Guidelines for Philosophy.

It contains all operative requirements for passing the degree as well as an equivalence table showing the old and new compulsory modules.
