Shaping your studies

A degree programme is more than just the acquisition of knowledge. It is a journey on which you can shape your own educational path according to your own ideas. No one is left to their own devices. Our wide range of support services are on hand to help everyone make the most of their studies.

 

Study start

When do the preliminary courses take place? Which courses do I need to take? What contact points and support services are available?

Formalities

We provide information on re-registration, leave of absence, health insurance, exmatriculation, fees and contributions.

Dates & deadlines

We help you never miss a deadline again. Regardless of whether it's an application deadline for a change of subject, an overview of the lecture periods or the registration and cancellation deadlines for courses and examinations.

PAUL - Campus management system

Students can use PAUL to register and deregister for courses and examinations, view their achievements, submit applications and apply for another subject area or the Master's programme.

Examinations

The Central Examination Office (ZPS) provides support with all examination-related questions relating to the degree programme. It provides information on examination deadlines and dates or on changes to the examination regulations. Admissions, registrations and withdrawals from examinations are processed and transcripts of records and certificates are issued.

Examination regulations, contact points

Search for your degree programme on the page Study programmes A-Z. On the right-hand side of the screen you will find the examination regulations or the module catalogue. At the bottom of the page for your degree programme you will find the section "The right contact point for every concern". Here you can find the right contact person for your enquiry.

Stays abroad

Stays abroad not only broaden and deepen professional, cultural and linguistic knowledge - they offer new perspectives and points of view and are an unforgettable personal experience! Internships or studying abroad are possible. In any case, it is important to inform yourself in good time!

Master's programme

In addition to Bachelor's degree programmes, we also offer a variety of interdisciplinary Master's degree programmes. Regardless of whether you have already completed your Bachelor's degree with us or come from another university.

Learning

Our university sees itself as a place where every student is catered for. We place particular emphasis on individualised learning and offer a wide range of learning spaces and resources. Because different types of learners need different approaches. Here, everyone can discover and develop their own way of learning, be it in specialised learning centres, in our library, in the Centre for Language Teaching or in many other places and support options.
