Prüfungsinformationen zum Komplementärstudium

Important information on the reorganisation of the complementary studies in WS 2015/2016

Here you can find an information sheet on the decided new conception of the complementary studies. More

The complementary studies programme at Leuphana College offers Bachelor students a wide range of interdisciplinary courses from the second semester onwards. These are offered in 12 different modules. These modules result from a matrix that distinguishes between four scientific perspectives and three didactic approaches.

The four perspectives are based on academic fields as well as the interdisciplinary approach of the university:
- Social science perspective
- Humanities perspective
- Natural science perspective
- Inter- and transdisciplinary perspective

Within each perspective, a further distinction is made between three different approaches, which illustrate how scientific work is primarily carried out in the respective courses:
- Method-oriented
- Practice-oriented
- Mediality-oriented

Students can select one course from each module. Each module must be completed with an examination worth 5 CP and can only be taken once.

    Annex 8 on complementary studies is legally binding and contains the subject-specific curriculum.

    • The complementary studies can be taken from the 2nd semester onwards.
    • A total of 30 CP must be acquired.
    • The complementary studies are divided into 12 clearly distinguishable modules, whereby each module may only be taken once.
    • Thus, at least 6 of the 12 modules must be selected.
    • The acquisition of 5 CP in a foreign language course is compulsory. Corresponding courses are marked with FSL (Fremdsprachiges Lehrangebot) in the title.
    • You can find any subject-specific special features for enrolment, e.g. for internships, in the respective subject-specific appendices of the major.

Otherwise, one of the four practice-oriented modules (module KS-SWp, module KS-GWp, module KS-NWp or module KS-ITWp) must be taken.
    • From the winter semester 2024/25 onwards, the same requirements will apply as for students who started their studies from winter semester 22/23 onwards.
