Timetable

Which modules you should take in which semester is determined by the lecturers of the subjects in the respective study plan.

A study plan is an exemplary timetable created by the lecturers of the degree programme. If you follow the study plan exactly, you should complete your degree programme exactly within the standard period of study and earn exactly 30 ECTS credits per semester (assuming you pass the course, of course).

In the first semester in particular, it is therefore a good idea to follow the recommendations in the study plan as closely as possible. But this is not compulsory! Because unlike at school, the study plans at university are not strictly adhered to timetables. Particularly in higher semesters, it makes sense to attend more courses than recommended in the study plan in one semester, for example, in order to be able to reduce your course attendance in the following semester so that you have more time for studying, working or swimming - and for additional (e.g. supplementary or in-depth) courses that you cannot find in the study plan. Think outside the box and broaden your horizons. Do not reduce your studies to the core area of compulsory courses, but make use of the extensive range of courses offered by your department (and beyond): The course catalogue provides you with a complete overview of all the courses on offer in the current semester. Too many options? Don't worry: your student advisory service and the Central Student Advisory Service will of course also be happy to help you choose suitable courses.

If there is no link to the study programme plan in WueStudy or below for your subject, first search on the homepages of the departments. If you cannot find what you are looking for here either, please contact the student advisory service for the relevant subject.

For students who are still on the old teacher training course (non-modularised; starting winter semester 2008/09 or earlier), on another state examination course or are still studying for the Magister Artium or Diplom degrees, there are not necessarily course plans. However, many departments will give you specific timetable recommendations (contact: Student Advisory Service) or at least help you plan your timetable. Before contacting the student advisory service, however, you should first visit the department's homepage and take a close look at the study and examination regulations (including any annexes) for your degree programme: You will often find a lot of important information there, including specific recommendations on timetabling.

Based on these plans and regulations, it is usually not difficult to create a concrete timetable. You will also need the course catalogue, which is available to you as an online course catalogue. The course catalogue contains all the details of the semester's courses (subject, type of course, location, time, lecturer) and offers online registration functions for certain courses (tutorials, seminars, practicals).

If you have the required information (study programme plan or, in the case of two subjects, two study programme plans and the location, day and time of the course), you can register for seminars on WueStudy and enter them in your timetable (an online timetable is available via WueStudy).

The combination of two subjects can cause coordination problems in individual cases. If important courses overlap, the selection must be made with regard to their importance for the progress of the programme. Priority should be given, for example, to two-semester modules or modules that are only offered annually. In the event of problems of this kind, you should also consider whether you could bring forward modules from other semesters and postpone others. In such a case, it would make sense to contact the relevant academic advisor.

In general, however, the following applies: If possible, you should stick as closely as possible to the recommendations in the study plan, especially in the first semesters.

Video tutorial for creating a timetable

The sample video was created by Ms Maria Haun as seminar work in the didactic subject of art and shows the procedure for creating a timetable as an example.

Orientation studies

If you are logged into your WueStudy account, you will see all the courses you can attend as part of orientation studies under your degree programme.

Ultimately, the same information applies to timetable planning during orientation studies as for a regular degree programme. If you complete 30 ECTS credits, you fulfil the requirements of a full-time student.

You should pay particular attention to the following:

As you can attend courses from all faculties, there may be time overlaps between courses and examinations.

  1. It is best to first get an overview of which and how many courses you have to attend in a module, including the examination date.
  2. Make a note of these courses in your timetable.
  3. Overlapping courses are marked in the timetable tool with a red frame.
  4. You must look for an alternative here.
  5. If you no longer have any red frames in your timetable, book the courses. You can do this directly in the timetable tool.
  6. If it is not yet possible to register for a course, please check the registration period for the courses and examinations. These can also vary from subject to subject. The deadlines for the enrolment period can be found under "Basic data" in each course description in the course catalogue.

If you do not yet have a WueStudy account, you can also go to the online course catalogue. You will find a list of all courses in the orientation programmes under "Grundständige Studienangebote".
