The General Study and Examination Regulations (ASPO) of HCU and the Special Study and Examination Regulations (BSPO) of the study programme Culture of the Metropolis form the legal basis of your studies. They regulate the study objectives, standard period of study, course achievements and types of courses, repeatability of examinations, possibilities for recognition of examination achievements as well as the curriculum. You can find the ASPO and BSPO here. 

The module plan represents the study plan of the Special Study and Examination Regulations (BSPO). It is a recommendation as to the order in which you can complete the modules in the course of your studies. For the teaching areas "Projects", "Theory of the City", "Methods of Urban Analysis" as well as "Mediation of the City", we recommend that you keep to the suggested order. The elective area "Interdisciplinary Issues" as well as the interdisciplinary courses of study are suitable to be chosen in a different order than the one suggested and depending on the area of interest. 

The Bachelor's programme is designed as a full-time programme (40 hours per week including preparation and follow-up time). To complete the programme in the standard period of study of six semesters, you must take 30 CP (credit points) per semester. 1 CP corresponds to a workload of 30 hours over the entire semester (lecture and lecture-free time). This includes contact time with your lecturers and self-study (preparation and follow-up). How much time you should spend on self-study is regulated in the respective module cards (see below).
