! make sure to watch the information event on the new curricula on the SSC-Site!
General
All courses will switch to the new curriculum starting WS26. But as you have the right to finish your studies in the current curriculum until 31.10.2029 – there will be possibilites for you to do Module Exams, PUEs, and courses that changed. Most of the questions about this will be answered by the equivalence lists that will be published by the SSC soon. These will then tell you what courses of the old curriculum count towards what courses in the new one and also reciprocally what new courses you can use for the old curriculum
Get in touch with the STV for your first questions, then the legally more binding stuff you can get in touch with the SSC and the V-SPL.
Bachelor’s specific
We can give you a more detailed list of criteria as soon as the official lists mentioned in the general section are published. But generally speaking, you should definitely look into if it makes sense for you to switch personally.
You should especially look into it:
- if you have many tries on a course already
- if you fear you might not be able to finish in time
- if you think the courses in the new curriculum are better and you are no further than 3rd semester.
- your other special cases
Master’s specific
If you are in the old curriculum you can submit your exposé just like it used to be. Find a mentor, look up how the Exposé should be structured here and submit it.
If you still have time towards your degree, you can do it like it is envisioned in the new curriculum and take the proposal-seminar to learn how to write an exposé. Then structure your exposé and submit it at the end. In the new curriculum the specialization is split into two 5 ECTS courses, while in the old curriculum you have one course with 10 ECTS. You can find further information about the new specialization here.
