In the summer semester of 2026, students at Fachhochschule Dortmund will be able to take elective modules in other Bachelor's study programs and have them credited for the first time.
What has been possible for Master's students for many years now also applies to four Bachelor's degree courses. All students on Bachelor's degree programs in the Faculties of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology can take elective modules from other BA degree programs and have them credited towards their study program.
More contacts, more input, more topics
Students on the four study programs Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Information Technology and Energy Economics and Energy Data Management who are in their fourth semester or higher can take part. They can choose from several modules from the other participating study programs. Further study programs are to follow.
In this way, students acquire interdisciplinary knowledge, get to know other lecturers and their methods, expand their network with students from other study programs, work in laboratories previously unknown to them and broaden their range of topics for projects and theses.
The labor market is interdisciplinary
The Ruhr Metropolitan School (RMS) is in charge of implementing the offer in cooperation with Prof. Dr. Bernd Runge, Dean of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering. "The specialist disciplines are closely intertwined in the current job market and in research," explains Prof. Runge. "So it makes sense to reflect this in the curriculum and offer our Bachelor's students interdisciplinary courses."
