New lecture times

Following an extensive coordination process, the lecture periods at the HfMT HH will be adjusted from the winter semester 2025/26, i.e.

• The lecture period in the winter semester will be shortened to 17 weeks and supplemented by a three-week examination and project period.
• The lecture period in the summer semester remains unchanged at 15 weeks.
• The semester weeks per year will then total 32 weeks.

Example winter semester 2025/26 (01.10.2025-31.03.2026):

Start of lectures: 01.10.2025

End of lectures: 06.02.2026

Examination and project period: 09.02.-27.02.2026

Lecture-free period:02.03.-31.03.2026

Please note this change early on when planning the semester.

There will be no regular teaching during the examination and project period.

Teachers and students who are involved in project and examination activities must ensure that they are present to prepare for and complete the respective examinations.

All module descriptions in which attendance, preparation and follow-up times are defined will be adjusted by the course coordinator. If the attendance time is reduced by three weeks, the preparation and follow-up time increases while the total number of CPs remains the same (see example below).

Example:

The reduction has no financial disadvantages for lecturers. The teaching assignment remuneration will therefore be adjusted again from winter semester 25/26.

If you have any questions, please contact your degree program coordinator.
