The degree program is divided into a foundation module and four subject-specific basic modules. The content of the modules covers the central focal points of political science. Five basic modules with different content are offered, four of which must be selected. When you register for the basic modules, you decide which four basic modules you would like to complete. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is not possible to register for a fifth basic module, nor is it possible to change a basic module at a later date. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note that modules are generally only completed and the credit points are only credited when all achievements have been completed. and also all events, including lectures, <\/strong>were properly completed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Program structure<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the B. A. minor, one basic module and four of five subject-specific basic modules must be completed. You can choose the four basic modules according to your own interests. When you register for the basic modules, you decide which four basic modules you would like to complete. It is not possible to register for a fifth basic module, nor is it possible to change a basic module at a later date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The course of study can largely be organized freely. However, the foundation module should be completed in the first two semesters if possible. As a rule, the basic modules do not build on each other in terms of content, so you can decide for yourself when which of the four basic modules to choose fits best into your course of study. The following information should help you with your planning: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
