Course information

Course information (no login necessary, click on: Vorlesungsverzeichnis)

The up-to-date course catalogue is available only two months before the beginning of each semester. To get an idea of courses offered, you can consult the previous catalogues and fac-ulty websites, where there is often general information about choosing courses.As an Erasmus+ / SEMP / UK student you must choose at least 60%of your course modules in the subject defined in the bilateral agreement. If the agreement is for more than one sub-ject area (faculty-wide agreement), you should take at least 60% of courses in your major / minor. You should take the other 40%of your course modules in no more than two further subject areas (example: 60% of courses in German Philology, 20% of courses in History and 20% of courses in Political Science). If you are a student of Languages / Literature, you may choose courses freely from all departments in the Faculty of Languages and Literatures. If you have no previous knowledge and study experience in a subject area, you will solely be permitted to take introductory courses in this field. As a rule, bachelor students will not be permitted to take master courses (any exceptions to this rule will be decided by LMU).
