Courses

The Faculty of Humanities offers a wide range of courses in the field of broad Humanities and Social Sciences to exchange students. All the courses are part of FHS degree study programmes that are designed to put a strong emphasis on interdisciplinarity.

Echange students study together with local students.

Good to Know when selecting courses

Exchange students are expected to follow the most of their courses at their particular host CU faculty (51% / 49% rule).

  • COURSE LEVEL

    Incoming students may choose both BA ("YB" courses codes) and MA ("YM" course codes) courses across different study programmes and departments at the Faculty of Humanities, unless there are specific entry restrictions and requirements for the respective courses.


  • COURSES OUTSIDE the FHS, your host faculty

    Students may select courses provided by other CU faculties, but not more than 49 % in total (e.g. if you would like to take three courses at the Faculty of Social Sciences, you have to take at least four courses provided by the Faculty of Humanities regardless of the overall number of ECTS credits).


  • NOMINATIONS via the Erasmus Agreement with our German and French Philosophy Study programme

    Students are expected to select some of their courses from the course offerings of this study programme ("YMFPR" course codes, language of instruction: German).


Learning Agreement Guidelines

When selecting courses and completing your Learning Agreement (LA), please consider the course offer available at the time of applying and note that it is subject to change. It will be possible to change your courses at a later stage.

  • NEXT ACADEMIC YEAR (semester) COURSE OFFERINGS

    These will be based on the current academic year’s course offerings. While some courses may no longer be offered, new courses will be introduced to ensure a sufficient selection in the broad fields of Humanities and Social Sciences.


  • LEARNING AGREEMENT: FHS and NON-FHS COURSES

    You may include non-FHS courses in your Learning Agreement in addition to FHS courses. However, please note that enrolment in these courses cannot be guaranteed in advance, either by our office or by the course instructors. We therefore recommend including backup options based on the FHS course offerings.

    Course availability should be checked during the add/drop period in the CU Student Information System at the beginning of the semester.


  • SEMESTER WORKLOAD

    The usual workload is 30 ECTS credits per semester. Depending on the requirements of the student’s home university, this may be lower. However, the minimum required workload at our faculty is 20 ECTS credits per semester, or 15 ECTS credits if the student is working on their final thesis during the exchange.


  • LA CHANGES

    Updating Learning Agreement is possible during the add/drop period to courses based on the up-to-date course offerings and timetable.
