Can modules be interchanged within the module catalog?

Yes, but only some of them – according to the following rules:

  • For module M3 you can use a module/modules worth max. 5 ECTS points in total from the module groups M2 and M5 of your own study branch or from M2, M3 and M5 of the others branches of study of our Medical Engineering program (i.e. “Medical Image and Data Processing” or “Medical Robotics” or “Health & Medical Data Analytics and Entrepreneurship” or “Medizinelektronik” or “Medizinische Produktionstechnik, Gerätetechnik und Prothetik”). The branches of study with German names are generally taught in German, but you might find some English-taught modules in their course catalogs,.
  • For module M5 you can use a module/modules worth max. 5 ECTS points in total from the module groups M2 and M3 of your own study branch or from M2, M3 and M5 of the other branches of study of our Medical Engineering program (i.e. “Medical Image and Data Processing” or “Medical Robotics” or “Health & Medical Data Analytics and Entrepreneurship” or “Medizinelektronik” or “Medizinische Produktionstechnik, Gerätetechnik und Prothetik”). The branches of study with German names are generally taught in German, but you might find some English-taught modules in their course catalogs.

Other modules which are not in alignment with the above rules, cannot be used for your module groups M3 or M5.

You can ask Mrs. Jahreis (helga.jahreis[at]fau.de to move your modules to another module group until the very end of your studies, before your final degree documents are issued.
