Curricular standard value

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Since 1977 there has been a Curricular Standard Value (CNW) in German higher education law, stipulating how many hours of deputation are required for the training of a student in a particular course at universities . The higher the curricular norm, the more staff per student must be provided in the course. The CNW are laid down in the capacity regulations (KapVO) of the federal states.

The CNW of a course quantifies the teaching effort in SWS (semester hours per week) for a student in his standard period of study. Using the formula N = LK / CNW consisting of CNW and LK (teaching capacity), the student capacity N per year can be calculated.

As part of the Bologna process and the new courses, the CNW should be made more flexible on the recommendation of the HRK in order to enable the new courses to be profiled specifically for the university and course.
