Minor

The minor allows you to branch out into another scientific discipline. This way, you can tailor the program to your individual interests and acquire valuable skills that prepare you for your future career. The choice is up to you!

Requesting a minor
If you would like to substitute the elective module with a minor, please send an informal request (ideally via e-mail) to the chair of the examination committee. Your request should include your program of study and the minor you would like to take.

In case you have earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Mannheim and would like to choose the same minor in your master’s program as in your bachelor’s program, you may only attend courses you did not already attend during your bachelor’s program due to the consecutive nature of the minor.

Please note: Most of the courses in the different minors are taught in German and therefore require you to be proficient in German. For this reason, the course titles provided in the tables found here are in German.
