Vorwort
1. Allgemeines
Das Modulhandbuch wird regelmäßig aktuellen Anforderungen angepasst und einmal
jährlich überarbeitet. Änderungen bedürfen der Beschlussfassung in den Fachbereichsräten
und der rechtzeitigen Veröffentlichung.
Bei folgenden Änderungen eines Moduls sind die §§ 44 Abs. 1 Nr. 1, 36 Abs. 2 Nr. 5, 37
Abs. 5 sowie 31 Abs. 4 des HHG zu beachten:
- grundsätzliche Änderungen der Inhalte und Qualifikationsziele

- Voraussetzungen für die Vergabe von Creditpoints
- Umfang der Creditpoints, Arbeitsaufwand und Dauer
Die Module sind im jeweilig aktuell gültigen Modulhandbuch für den Masterstudiengang
Control, Computer and Communications Engineering im Einzelnen beschrieben.
Setzt sich eine Prüfungsleistung aus mehreren Teilleistungen zusammen, müssen das
Zustandekommen der Modulbewertung und die Gewichtung der Teilleistungen den
Studierenden vor der Leistungserbringung rechtzeitig und in geeigneter Weise bekannt
gegeben werden. § 12 der Allgemeinen Bestimmungen (Teil I der Prüfungsordnung) findet
Anwendung.
In der Summe sind 90 CrP erforderlich, davon 60 CrP ohne Masterarbeit.
Anmerkungen zu Angaben in den Modulbeschreibungen:

- Die oder der unter „Modulverantwortliche oder Modulverantwortlicher“ genannte Dozentin
oder Dozent ist für die Redaktion der Modulbeschreibung verantwortlich. Der Inhalt und die
Durchführung der jeweiligen Veranstaltung liegt selbstverständlich ganz in der
Verantwortung der oder des jeweiligen Lehrenden.
- Die Angaben zum Arbeitsaufwand (Workload) ergeben sich aus einem Faktor 25-
30 Stunden pro CrP (§ 10 Abs. 2 Teil I der Prüfungsordnung); die Präsenzzeit für
Vorlesungen/Seminare etc. berechnet sich aus der SWS-Zahl und 15 Veranstaltungswochen
pro Semester. Diese Angaben sind Richtwerte für die Studierenden und die Lehrenden.
2. Beschleunigtes Verfahren
Die Module sind im Modulhandbuch für den Masterstudiengang CCCE im Einzelnen

beschrieben. In einem „beschleunigten Verfahren“ können bisher noch nicht angebotene
Wahlpflichtmodule, die aktuelle Themen aufgreifen und für die Studierenden von Interesse
sind, vom Fachbereich angeboten werden, ohne dass hierzu vorab eine
Prüfungsordnungsänderung erfolgt. Die Einführung des Moduls erfolgt in der Regel zu
Beginn der Vorlesungszeit eines Semesters. Folgende Verfahrensvoraussetzungen sind
hierbei in Absprache mit dem Prüfungsamt zu beachten:
- 1) Für das Wahlpflichtmodul ist seitens der oder des Modulverantwortlichen eine
vollständige Modulbeschreibung zu erstellen.
1

- 2) Die Einführung dieses Wahlpflichtmoduls muss seitens des Fachbereichsrats (bzw. der
Fachbereichsräte bei gemeinsam angebotenen Studiengängen) beschlossen sein und
bedarf der Zustimmung des Prüfungsamts.
- 3) Die Ergänzung des Modulhandbuchs durch das aktuelle Wahlpflichtmodul wird erst
zusammen mit der nächsten Prüfungsordnungsänderung dem Senat zum Beschluss (vgl.
§ 36 Abs. 2 Nr. 5 HHG) und dem Präsidium zur Genehmigung (vgl. § 37 Abs. 5 HHG) mit
vorgelegt.
- 4) Bis zur Rechtswirksamkeit des Wahlpflichtmoduls durch die interne Veröffentlichung im

Amtlichen Mitteilungsblatt, ist das Wahlpflichtmodul den Studierenden rechtzeitig in
geeigneter Art und Weise bekannt zu machen. Das Wahlpflichtmodul ist den HISPOS-
Koordinatoren der Abteilung ITS zeitnah zur Einpflege in die Prüfungsverwaltung
anzuzeigen.
3. Studienstruktur
Zum erfolgreichen Abschluss des Masterstudiengangs sind von den Studierenden

Leistungen im Umfang von 90 Creditpoints (CrP) nach dem European Credit Transfer
System (ETCS) aus dem Angebot des Masterstudiengangs zu erbringen.
Das modular strukturierte Studium gliedert sich innerhalb der Regelstudienzeit in folgende
Studienabschnitte:
2 Vorlesungssemester mit seminaristischem Fachunterricht und Laborarbeit (60 CrP).
1 Abschluss-Semester, in dem die Master-Thesis durchgeführt wird (30 CrP).
Die Module des Studiengangs gliedern sich in Pflichtmodule, Vertiefungsmodule je nach

Vertiefungsrichtung sowie in Wahlpflichtmodule. Während der beiden Vorlesungssemester
des Studiengangs sind von den Studierenden
 alle Pflichtmodule,
 alle Vertiefungsmodule gemäß der gewählten Vertiefungsrichtung sowie
 drei Wahlpflichtmodule aus dem Wahlpflicht-Katalog des Studiengangs
entsprechend dem in Anlage 1 dargestellten Curriculum zu belegen und durch eine
