This module is a substitute for individual lectures that are not included in the module catalog. An example explains it best: You enter the Master as a Bachelor MNE or Electrical Engineering and want to attend special basic courses in the ALS Bachelor. If this would be e.g. a 2 ECTS and a 3 ECTS course, these courses can be credited with the module "Ergänzende Vertiefungen 5 ECTS". Analogously, this applies to 10 ECTS. However, this must be checked in each individual case, especially with regard to the course of study.

This module is about strengthening the engineer in the student and giving the opportunity to individualize and focus on specific topics. In comparison to the research & development module, the transfer module empgasizes more on solving a problem than on finding fundamentally new knowledge. Therefore, the transfer module does not count for the research oriented degree.

A 10 / 20 / 30 ECTS module is available. The module can be completed externally (company, institute, partner university) as well as with Kaiserslautern University of Applied Sciences. This is especially interesting if you study "with a company", however, the project must be suitable.

Some details:

• Before the more in-depth engineering modules (20/30 ECTS) can be chosen, the 10 ECTS engineering module must be passed.
• Together, the head of the study program and the supervising examiner decide wether the project can be considered for the transfer module. Also, they decide on how the project weighs for the major MEMS or BME.

From the second semester onwards and after an individual agreement with us, you can take a mobility module at a foreign university as an alternative to the existing courses. For the mobility module, a learning agreement must be arranged with the examination board in advance. Within the framework of the mobility module, research-oriented achievements can also be made in accordance with the requirements of the research modules. This is to be agreed upon in the Learning Agreement. The research-oriented achievements will be taken into account to the extent performed for the determination of whether the study program was completed in a research-oriented manner.

Information about our partner universities can be found on the website of our International Office. However, mobility modules can also be completed at non-partner universities.
