FÜS Module Catalogue

FÜS Module Catalogue

In the summer semester 2026, the modules listed in the module catalogue are permitted for interdisciplinary studies in degree programmes at the BTU. Other modules may not be taken in the interdisciplinary studies.

Please note the negative lists of the study programmes in the module catalogue, which have been determined by the programme directors. Not all modules are permitted in every degree programme.

FÜS module catalog for the summer semester 2026

The Interdisciplinary Studies (FÜS) serve to impart interdisciplinary knowledge that goes beyond the subject curricula. In doing so, the FÜS does not take the place of the integrated teaching of competencies that is necessary from the perspective of the individual course of study, but supplements it with aspects that are independent of the subject.

Guideline for interdisciplinary studies

For the modules of the interdisciplinary studies, the examination registration is to be carried out online in modularized study programmes.
