Study regulations

The most important documents for your Studies are the study regulations. Here you can find the current documents.

Die Studiendokumente haben immer das letzte Wort bei Fragen, die das Studium betreffen. Sie setzen sich aus Studienordnung, Prüfungsordnung, Modulbeschreibung und Studienablaufplan zusammen. In ihr werden der Ablauf des Studiums, die Module und die Freiversuche festgelegt. Da sie rechtsgültig sein muss, ist sie leider nicht das am leichtesten verständliche Dokument, allerdings einen Blick wert und man sollte zumindest einen groben Überblick haben, was drin steht. Zu beachten ist, dass immer die Dokumente gelten, mit denen man immatrikuliert wurde.


Module AQUA (Allgemeine Qualifikation) for Physics Bachelor

During your Bachelor’s degree, you’ll need to earn 8 AQUA credits. That might sound like a lot at first, but it isn’t. You’ll already receive two AQUA credits for the introductory seminar. This is a compulsory part of your degree programme anyway. That leaves just six credits, which you can earn through other activities.

In the past, the FSR has worked to ensure that we get AQUA points for almost everything you can do while studying at the university, since the goal of this module is to get involved in more than just physics during your time at university.

For example, you can get more than enough AQUA points for sports, committee work (e.g. FSR), language courses, "Studium Generale", physics colloquium, etc. until your bachelor's degree. You can find an overview of most of the courses that count towards AQUA here here. The Python course during the semester break is highly recommended, as it allows you to earn 4 AQUApunkte with relatively little effort.

Information on postponing courses

Some of you probably feel like you can’t keep up with all your modules. And not necessarily because the subject is too difficult, but simply because you don’t have enough time. But that’s no problem at all. The timetable – as it stands – is by no means set in stone. It’s more of a recommendation. Across Germany, the average duration of studies also exceeds the intended length. But which courses are best to postpone, and which ones are better left where they are? To help with this, we’ve put together a short list summarising some of the pros and cons of postponing for all your first-semester courses.
