In some cases courses outside the humanities can be combined with humanities courses in the Magister track, however special permission must be granted and some restrictions do apply. Areas of studies, which allow only limited enrolment, cannot be combined within a Magister. Please contact the Allgemeine Studienberatung if you have questions regarding your combination of subjects. Both, the M.A. and the B.A. track are based on modules. The work done over the entire course of study is cumulated to reflect the student's achievement.
Some subjects require testing at the statewide level.
These subjects include Education, Medicine, Law and Pharmaceutical Studies. The structure of the studies is in these cases regulated by the state and the duration of studies can vary greatly. The Staatsexamen for medicine can generally be completed in six years, whereas the Staatsexamen for Law takes about four years. Please contact the individual programme departments for more information on the exact structure of these subjects.
