Zoom Meeting Recording with Correction

You can find the recording of the Zoom meeting here:

In minute 1:06:20 to 1:06:45 the video recording contains an error. It was incorrectly stated that for the focus area DIS, there is no restriction in the choice of Guided Projects. However, this has changed since the examination order amendment of 15.03.2023. The rules for the DIS specialization are now (translated from the German original):

§24 (4) In the DIS focus area, all modules can be freely selected in accordance with Annex 1.

  • For project modules, however, the restriction applies that only projects amounting to a maximum of 30 ECTS credits may be chosen from the permissible project offerings (see Annex 1).
  • The project format GP-ID “Guided Project (small), focused on Interdisciplinary Topics” (6 ECTS) may be chosen up to two times.
  • All other project formats from Appendix 1 may be chosen at a maximum of once.

We apologize for this error.

Registration for the Projects

The registration procedure is presented in this slide set. See also the video recording for an explanation of the registration procedure.
