FÜS module catalog for the winter semester 2025/2026
The Interdisciplinary Studies (FÜS) serves 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 programs.
