Open Modules

The open modules of the single-subject Bachelor's degree programme in Philosophy allow you to study content from a variety of subjects offered by all faculties at HHU, totalling 36 credit points (LP).

  • Open Module 1 (15 LP): Courses from other faculties or profile development, no MP required
  • Open Module 2 (9 LP): Courses from other faculties, at least 1 MP
  • Open Module 3 (12 LP): Courses from other faculties, at least 1 MP

In the Open Module 1, you may, as part of your profile development, attend courses both within and outside the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, including language courses as well as classes on key competences and preparation for professional life.

In all subjects outside the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, the number of participants is limited. Therefore, you must first apply for the HIS-LSF course Offene Module and for a specific subject group (Group 1: Law, Group 2: Medicine, Group 3: Natural Sciences/Mathematics, Group 4: Psychology, Group 5: Economics). Once you have been allocated a place, you can then register in HIS-LSF for courses in the respective subject group. If registration is not possible, please contact the instructors directly and ask for permission to attend. For courses in Law, registration directly with the instructors before the start of the lecture period is required in any case.

Please deregister from the course Open Modules if you decide not to attend any courses outside the Faculty of Arts. This will free up your place for others.
