Credit Point-System

The CP-value is equivalent to the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS). 1 ECTS corresponds to 25 to 30 hours of work (0.3 CP corresponds to one day of work).

The number of CPs is defined by doctoral regulations. Therefore, it is obligatory to collect all CPs listed below.

An asterisk (*) marks the minimal number of required CPs within each module. Each module requires a minimum of CPs, totaling at least 180 CPs. All credit points must be collected in the RIGeL Leistungsheft and signed by the PhD supervisor.
