Further information

The general subjects are listed above, categorized  in subject groups.

Under “Prerequisites”, the details state the semester when you can take the course. Furthermore, some subjects can be taken as general required electives (AWPF) within your degree programme, whilst others can only be taken as electives (facultative, optional subjects). In this regard, please also note the stipulations in the study and examination regulations and/or in the degree programme overview or module handbook of your degree programme. If a subject is to be recognized as a general required elective as part of your degree programme, please make sure that when registering for it, it is recorded as a required course (by selecting the subject in the “Pflicht” (required) column).

Courses are generally assigned two (ECTS) credits. Since the winter semester 2017/18, general required elective subjects (AWPFs) carrying three credits have also been offered, especially within the B-BI, B-BIO, M-MB, and M-AMP degree programmes. You can recognize those subjects as the course title includes the designation “3 LP” (3 credits). Please note, however, that not all of the general subjects worth 3 credits  are recognized as general required elective subjects, even in the degree programmes listed above. On the other hand, if the same subject is not available as an elective with only two credits, subjects with three credits may also be taken by students from other degree programmes.

Details of the language courses currently available, together with further information about how to register for them, can be found on the homepage of the Language Center. The Language Center also offers courses in intercultural communication.

As well as taking part in courses from our own list of elective and required elective subjects, we would also like to make you aware of the courses offered by the “Virtuelle Hochschule Bayern” (vhb). These too are available to students registered at the Ohm, free of charge.

More details of the courses currently available and information about how to register can be found on the homepage of the “Virtuelle Hochschule Bayern”.

Please check in advance with the relevant examination board whether a course offered by the vhb will be recognized as a required elective within your degree programme.
