Compulsory transfer to the PO 2024
General Information on Mandatory Transition to the 2024 Study Plan
Starting in the 2026/2027 winter semester, the “new” study documents introduced in the 2024/2025 winter semester will apply to all students in the Master’s degree programs in Business Administration, Business Education and Management Training, Diplom in Business Information Systems, and Diplom in Industrial Engineering and Management. Students following the “old” study documents from 2014/2017 are required to transition to the new documents at that time.
The mandatory transition is governed by Section 38(4) of the respective examination regulations.
General information on this topic and FAQs can be found in the OPAL course “Mandatory Transition to 2024 Study Documents.”
