Curriculum
The curriculum of an FH degree programme is to be designed in a way so
that it corresponds to professional and vocational requirements. It
must be ensured that capabilities of meeting the requirements of the
relevant vocational fields of activity according to the latest academic
findings and the requirements of working life are imparted. When
designing the curricula, it has to be taken care that the workload is
manageable. It has to be considered that the annual workload of a
student must not exceed 1,500 hours (cf. section 3 sub-section 2 no 4
FHStG as amended).
Whether the curriculum is manageable is determined by the workload
measured according to the European Credit Transfer System. According to
the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS, 253/2000/EC, Official
Gazette no. L 28 of 3 February 2000), credits are allocated to the
individual courses (30 credits are given for each semester and 60 for
each academic year). In this context, placements and diploma theses
shall be considered equivalent to courses.
Part-time degree programmes attempt, in particular, to design the
schedule with consideration for working students. The curriculum of
these part-time degree programmes is designed in a way that the number
of lessons per week has been adjusted to the manageable workload for
working students. Lessons take place in the evening or in weekend
modules.
The so-called "target group-specific" degree programmes have a
particular scientific and teaching concept and are tailored for working
students of a certain target group. The study period may be one or two
semesters shorter. |
