Annotation
The duration of studies for the full-time course is six semesters. Vocational training can be credited towards the modules of the 2nd and 3rd semesters, shortening the degree course by up to one year.
The duration of studies may be extended in the event of heavy occupational workloads based on the workload. In order to enable students to study while engaging in limited professional activity, the course usually takes place on fixed study days (Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays), supported by e-learning components.
