This minor subject is a special minor subject. Please be sure to read the relevant information in the general information.
General information
Your degree programme, field of study, examination regulations version and (from PO 2018) minor subject version are relevant for the choice of minor subject. Please be sure to read the general information . There you will also find the number of credit points (CP) to be earned. Modules not listed here are possible with approval.
Please note: Not everything you can choose in TUCaN can also be included in the degree programme.
Due to a change in the study regulations of the minor subject, for example, certain module combinations may not be possible (because they overlap too much). In case of doubt, please ask for approval of a voluntary examination plan or ask our study coordinator.

| If you are planning to write your Master's thesis in another subject area, we recommend that you clarify the options in advance with the lecturer(s) you are considering as supervisor(s) and discuss the study plan in the non-mathematical areas.

This is not always the case. | |||
In the field of Philosophy, there is currently no wide range of options for writing a mathematically orientated Master's thesis.
The non-mathematical specialisation in Philosophy is therefore currently not actively advertised on the Master's degree programme in Mathematics.
This does not prevent individual students from studying such a specialisation if they are able to put together a meaningful study programme through a suitable combination of modules. This must then be approved on a case-by-case basis by the departments involved. In particular, the option of a mathematically orientated Master's thesis in the specialisation must be explored.
In this case, students also bear the risk that there is no suitable replacement for modules originally planned, but which are later unwanted or no longer offered, and the specialisation cannot be completed.
If you have any questions, please contact the examination board.
