• Students, who have acquired their university entrance qualification neither in the Federal Republic of Germany nor in any country or region in which German is the official language, and students whose programme of study that is the basis for entry into the Master's degree programme is not in German can also acquire 12 credits in the elective area by successfully taking modules from "German as a foreign language". Prerequisite is the verification of the level "Grundstufe III" (A.2.1).
• The certificate "Fachliches und literarisches Übersetzen (FLÜ)" (18 C) can be chosen as an elective module since summer semester 2023, but students must complete the entire certificate programme and will only get credits for the complete certificate.

In the elective area, other modules (alternative modules) instead of the stated modules may be taken according to the following conditions. Requirements for the consideration of an alternative module are:

• a) A written application from the student that must be submitted to the Dean of Studies of the Faculty of Business and Economics before beginning with the alternative module
• b) Consent by the Dean of Studies of the Faculty or teaching unit that offers the alternative module

The decision as to the approval of the application is made by the Dean of Studies of the Faculty of Business and Economics. The Dean will first obtain a statement on the purposefulness of the alternative module from a teacher of the programme in which the student is enrolled. The application may be rejected without a statement of the reason; no legal right is constituted for the applicant. Modules already taken cannot be considered as an alternative module.
