BA Marburg Skills — Marburg Skills

In this area, 18 CP must be acquired, of which a maximum of 6 CP must be selected from the central offer and a minimum of 12 CP from the decentral offer of the departments. It is also possible to include the modules from Mathematics and Computer Science listed below in Marburg Skills. However, it is not allowed to take modules in Marburg Skills that (1) are either already compulsory modules in one's own degree program, or (2) have very similar contents or competence goals to module in one's own degree program (e.g., if you have to take Basic Linear Algebra, you cannot take Linear Algebra I in addition).
