How can I register for exams from other branches of study which I want to use in my module group M3 or M5 (rule for interchanging modules)?

As explained in the footnotes in your module catalog, you can interchange some modules between the other branches of study (which you have not chosen) and your own branch of study:

You can use a modul/modules with max. 5 ECTS from M2, M3 or M5 of the other branches of study or from M2 or M5 of your own branch of study for your module group M3 and another modul/modules with max. 5 ECTS from M2, M3 or M5 of the other branches of study or from M2 or M3 of your own branch of study for your module group M5. In total, this means that you can use 10 ECTS of those “external” modules, namely a module/modules worth 5 ECTS in your module group M3 and (an)other module/modules worth 5 ECTS in your module group M5.

Please note that only complete 2,5 ECTS and 5 ECTS modules can be used for this purpose, as modules cannot be split up (i.e. a 5 ECTS module cannot be divided into two 2,5 ECTS modules). It is not possible to only use parts of a module with a higher amount of ECTS, either (i.e. a module worth 7,5 ECTS cannot be downgraded to or split up into a 5 ECTS module for his purpose).

If you want to take exams from the other branches of study you cannot register for them as part of the “tree structure” for your branch of study in Campo. Please register for the exams in Campo as “electives”, i.e. register them as part of your module group M8/Free Choice Uni or “additional achievements”. After you have passed the exams you have time until the very end of your studies to ask Mrs. Jahreis (helga.jahreis[at]fau.de) our Examinations Offices to move them to your desired module group.
