Do I have to take my courses in any special order?

No. It is completely up to you in which order you choose your courses. Past experience has shown that it is best to take courses from the individual introduction at the beginning of your studies. In addition, there are occasional courses that require other courses. If this is the case, it will be referred to on the chair page. It should also be noted that, from experience, students with a management background in particular tend to learn the basics of computer science in their first semester before taking more in-depth computer science courses.

Can I take a course that is unrelated to my study program?

Yes this is possible. For IIS students starting from winter term 2021/22 it is possible to choose any FAU module worth 5 ECTS (or more) that you would like to study as part of the Studium Generale. Please have a look here for more information.

For IIS students starting before winter term 2021/22, this is not possible
