Please note that you have to fulfil the academic and language requirements of the respective module you wish to take. Specific conditions and requirements for each module can be found in the catalogue. Please also check the information for the respective faculty or organisation offering the modules below.

?

The standard workload for one semester is 30 ECTS, but there is no official minimum or maximum of courses or ECTS that exchange students have to take. We recommend taking between 20 and 40 ECTS. Please discuss this matter with your home university as well as they may require you to do a certain number of credits during your exchange.

?

Please note that the module catalogues contain?modules for the whole academic year, so please be careful to check that the module you are interested in, will be offered in the semester of your exchange.

?

Please also note that the module catalogues contain?both courses held in German and English. Always check the language of instruction that is indicated in the description to each module.

The course registration will take place on the online portal Digicampus shortly before or at the beginning of the semester until a certain deadline. You will receive information on how to register for courses before the semester start.

?

Please do not register for courses?on Digicampus which are not assigned to the exchange studies?module catalogue of the faculty you are enrolled at. Neither should you?attempt to?make any special arrangements with lecturers in this regard, because you will be unable to register for?exams that are not in the applicable catalogue(s), sit?these exams or gain any credits?for them.

So you'd still have to take some regular courses.
