The regular recommended workload per term is 30 ECTS points, as our Master’s program consists of 120 ECTS points and the regular duration of studies is 4 semesters. You can find the recommended distribution of credits per term in the module catalog (see “Information for current students”). However, you don’t have to stick to the exact same study plan, you are free to make your own choices and take less modules/credits per semester. There is no minimum amount of credits that you have to acquire per semester and nobody will check on you how many courses you are taking. The general duration of studies can be extended to 5 or 6 if you need it. Especially during your first semester, when you are still getting used to your new university and study program, it can make sense to take less than 30 credits. If you were admitted with conditional subjects, please make sure that you concentrate on them first, as you only have 1 year to complete them. If you feel you need a lot of time to study for your conditions it is a good idea to accompany those course with less time-consuming options, such as a language course for “M8/Free Choice Uni” or medical modules from module group M1.
