Curriculum
The Liberal Arts and Sciences curriculum combines academic breadth and depth and provides students with choice and development opportunities within a structured framework and interdisciplinary learning community.
Academic Content
The Foundational Year is the starting point of your LAS studies and includes many LAS Core courses. Starting in the second year, students have significant freedom in designing their own study program. This means that LAS students' academic goals and paths will be quite individual.
|
In the Electives, students can undertake a variety of courses and projects to further shape their profile and / or use these credits for courses taken during their study abroad. |
|
The Majors provide an in-depth education in a specific academic field that is, in itself, interdisciplinary. After their first year of studies, students choose one of the following Majors: All students take introductions to two further Majors. |
|
Core courses are taken by all LAS students. The Core encompasses basic and advanced academic skills, reflections on knowledge and science, and the a curriculum on Responsibility and Leadership. |
The LAS curriculum is organized in modules. You can find the complete module descriptions in the Module Handbook. The corresponding LAS courses are published every semester in the Course Catalog:
