Module Manuals, Syllabi and Study and Examination Regulations
Module Manuals
A module manual contains a description of all relevant modules for a program. These include information about examination regulations. Program goals, content or literature references.
Each curriculum consists of various modules, which are conclusive content-wise, coordinated in terms of time and which have the objective to convey the defined competencies and content.
The module descriptions are standardized descriptions, which set the framework for a module and its enclosing courses.
Syllabi
The module manuals are complemented by syllabi, which can be found on the e-campus. They are course descriptions that refer to a specific semester and that refer to a specidifv semester and supplement the general information from the module manual.
Study and Examination Regulations
The Study and Examination Regulations (SPO) are the regulations that give structure to our study programs.
At Pforzheim University, these are divided into two main parts. The first part (the so-called general part of the Bachelor's and Master's degree programs) includes basic regulations for the entire university. The second part (appendices) refers to the concrete study contents of the respective study program. There you can find, among other things, the type of examination, the duration of the examination as well as the relevant examination semester for the individual courses.
