General Electives

The General Electives module contains courses that do not fall directly within the subject area of the degree programme, for example, languages and general education courses which are intended to broaden horizons.

At the beginning of the semester, students can choose courses from a catalogue. It gets published by the Dean's Office of the Faculty of Applied Natural Sciences and Humanities (FANG) and is displayed opposite the FANG Dean's Office during the first week of lectures.

There, four courses can be entered in prepared forms, which are then allocated by lottery.

Specialisation/specialisation modules - fourth and fifth semester

For the fourth and fifth semesters, students must each choose a specialisation. There are a total of eight specialisations to choose from. One block contains the specialisations available for the summer semester, the other the specialisations available for the winter semester.

Each specialisation consists of three modules, which are assigned module numbers 20, 21 and 22 are assigned in the summer semester or module numbers 25, 26 and 27 in the winter semester. For clear identification, module numbers have been assigned to the modules in the following tables, which consist of an abbreviation of the specialisation name and a consecutive number.

The specialisations are selected using a procedure that has already been introduced and tested for the Bachelor of Mechatronics (BMC) and Bachelor of Mechatronics (IMC) degree programmes.

More information on the specialisations will be published soon.
