Minor subjects in computer science
Every student studying Computer Science in the Bachelor's programme must take at least 15 CP in the minor subject. This does not necessarily have to be 3 times 5 CP, as stated in the standard curriculum, but can also be 6 CP and 9 CP, for example, or even more or less.
The minor subject is optional for students of Computer Science in the Master's programme and can be extended up to a maximum of 18 CP. Please note that it should be a Master's module or, in the case of a Bachelor's module, it should be strongly justified why it is necessary for the Master's programme. This could be justified with, for example, another minor subject which is a Master's module where these basic principles from the Bachelor's module are required.
Since the minor subject is primarily intended to enable students to think outside the box, a real variety of options are available here, as the minor subject can be put together from all modules offered at the OvGU.
If it has been agreed with the lecturer, more credit points can be awarded for a module: for example, for ‘Introduction to Numerics’ can be agreed with the lecturer that there will be one more credit point for the module and you will then receive 10 credit points.
There is a list of minor subjects that have already been approved once - this is provided by the Examination Office/Examination Board.
