    General Study Information Master’s program

    Structure of the Master’s Program: Flexible schedules

    In our Master degree program of Medical Engineering, students have the possibility to design their studies based upon their interests. Apart from very few mandatory modules (potential conditional subjects and mandatory electives, which are marked with footnotes in your course catalog) there is no dictated schedule. The study plan template only informs you how many ECTS credit points you must achieve in each module group during your studies:

    • 10 credits for module group M1
    • 20 credits for module group M2
    • 20 credits for module group M2
    • 5 credits for M4/Advanced Seminar Medical Engineering
    • 10 credits for module group M5
    • 10 credits worth of practical/lab modules for module group M6
    • 10 credits for module group M7
    • and 5 credits for module group M8.

    You arrange an individual schedule each semester yourself by selecting modules of your catalog and attending the corresponding classes. Please read the catalog which corresponds to your examination regulation (FPO), which can be found in the left hand section of this page, especially the footnotes! If you have any questions concerning your study plan, feel free to contact your study advisor!

      • VHB: Virtual University Bavaria (introduction)
        Please note that online courses from VHB can only be accredited for your module group “Free Choice Uni” if they are graded and  if the grade is received via an on-site exam or an online exam with identity control (= ID check and video transmission during the exam) or written work such as essay etc. Online exams without identity control and supervision will not be accepted! VHB courses which are not offered by FAU lecturers can generally not be used for “Flexible Budget Faculty of Engineering”. When you are in doubt if a VHB course can be used for your Medical Engineering degree, please contact your study advisor before taking the course.
