The respective responsible person for the module (see pages of the individual Bachelor's and Master's degree programs)

Individually assembled modules „Interdisciplinary Studies“

In the Bachelor’s and Master’s programs a minor subject is studied within the “Interdisciplinary Studies”. Various predefined modules like Chemistry, Introduction to Computer Science, Philosophy, Economics etc. are specified in the examination regulations.

In addition, students may individually assemble a module “Interdisciplinary Studies” on a subject of their choice, provided that is reasonably related to the study of physics or that it provides specific professional qualifications. For this, students have to compile a module description according to the sample in the examination regulations, agree on this with a person from the chosen subject who will be responsible for the module, and have it approved by the dean of studies.
 
If the module contains foreign language courses this has to be agreed on with the dean of studies prior to registering for these courses at the Language Center of the University.
