Pre-Approval

The chosen courses of the module Shell Focus (Shell-Schwerpunkt) and the module Shell Extension (Shell-Ergänzung) must be approved by the responsible Director of Studies before attending. The required form can be found under "Form and Completion of Studies" on the homepage.

Courses that have already been completed in the previous Bachelor's programme may not be taken again. You can find a list of possible courses in the curriculum (see appendix starting on page 19).

Arrangement with the Faculty of Computer Science regarding SHELL-Focus/Extension Computer Science:

Students of the Master Computational Science can freely choose from the following "cluster modules", if they fullfill the prerequisites. I.e. they have a de facto place guarantee. As prerequisite, students have to complete the corresponding introductory course ("Gatekeeper", the first one in each chapter), before further courses from a chapter can be taken. Of course only Gatekeeper courses can be taken.

Please note: for all other courses from the Master programmes at the Faculty for Computer Science, e.g. Master programme "Bioinformatics" as well as "Data Science", partially different prerequisite systems apply. Hence an approval from the Directorate of Studies (SPL) Computer Science is necessary. Participation in these courses is only possible if free places are available.

For admission to courses from the Master Bioinformatics, the modules CO-INF1, CO-MAT1 and CO-BIO1 have to be completed already.
