Liste aller Module
An dieser Stelle gibt es eine alphabetische Liste aller Module. Einzelne Modulnamen können "doppelt" erscheinen, da gleichlautende aber unterschiedliche Module in unterschiedlichen Studiengängen Verwendung finden. Dies geschieht bspw. durch Vorgaben der Akkreditierungsagenturen oder bei sehr unspezifischen Modulen wie Abschlussarbeiten. In dem Fall finden Sie das richtige Modul eventuell schneller wenn Sie über den Anbieter suchen.
