Equivalence and recognition of courses for the Master's degree in Astronomy
Equivalences
This information is important if you do NOT want to change to the new Master Curriculum 2023 for the time being or if you plan to complete the Curriculum 2016:
The courses of the Master Curriculum 2016 are no longer offered. However, you can attend equivalent courses of the new curriculum. The following table describes which courses are equivalent:
| If you attend the following courses of the MA-Curriculum 2023: | They are recognized in the MA Curriculum 2016 as follows: |
|---|---|
| Early Universe and Structure Growth | Frühes Universum |
| Any of the other three lectures from the Area "Galaxies and Universe" | Extragalaktische Astronomie |
| Star Formation: From Molecular Clouds to Protostars | Sternentstehung und Interstellares Medium oder Vertiefung Astronomie |
| Interstellar Medium and Milky Way | Sternentstehung und Interstellares Medium oder Vertiefung Astronomie |
| Solar and Stellar Astrophysics | Sternaufbau und Sternentwicklung |
| Structure and Evolution of Planetary Systems | Planeten und Exoplaneten |
| Astronomical Observation Methods | Astronomische Instrumentierung |
| Methods of Computational Astrophysics | Numerisches Praktikum |
| Observational Practice Course | Beobachtungsorientiertes Praktikum |
| Data Science in Astrophysics | Data Science in der Astrophysik |
| Research Semniar | Forschungsseminar |
| Preparatory Seminar | Vertiefung Astronomie |
Recognitions
This information is important if you are transferring to the new Master Curriculum 2023:
The already completed achievements have to be recognized by notice. On the homepage of the SSC Geosciences, Geography and Astronomy you will find all necessary information and documents:

Achievements from the PM-Astr module can generally be recognized for the VAF Specialization in Current Research Topics module.
Achievements from the module PM-fnNawi can generally be recognized for the module BEN Related Sciences.
If you are unclear about recognitions, please contact the relevant SPL or the SSC GGA.
NOTE: This is neither an equivalency nor a recognition regulation! These are informal commitments of the SPL to transparently ensure a smooth continuation of your studies or transfer to the new curriculum for you.
