kurskatalog

Kurskatalog is a term used in educational contexts to refer to a catalog that lists the courses offered by an institution or platform. It typically includes course codes, titles, brief descriptions, credit value or ECTS, prerequisites, learning outcomes, required materials, and instructor names. Other common elements are the term or semester, delivery modality (in-person, online, hybrid), meeting times, location, capacity, and enrollment status. Some catalogs also provide information on assessment methods, recommended or required textbooks, language of instruction, and contact information for the department.

Kurskatalogs serve several purposes: they help prospective and current students plan study programs, verify degree or certificate requirements, and navigate registration and advising. They also support transparency and curriculum management for faculty and administrators. Catalogs are typically maintained by a university or college's registrar or academic affairs office and are updated each term or academic year. They may exist as static documents (PDF) or dynamic, searchable online catalogs integrated with the institution's student information system.

In practice, kurskatalog can refer to similar catalogs in continuing education programs, online course platforms, or corporate training portals. While the exact structure varies by institution, the core function remains the same: to present available courses, their requirements, and how they fit into broader study plans.
