Annotation
The degree programme can be studied full-time (4 semesters) or part-time career-integrated (8 semesters).
Lectures are primarily held digitally (asynchronous/synchronous/hybrid). So you can learn whenever and wherever it fits into your life. Classroom events are usually limited to one to two weekends per semester.
As part of the inverted classroom concept, content is made available for personal work (e.g. learning videos, annotated presentations, literature) and then deepened in online sessions (video conference). Despite the high proportion of self-study, you will be accompanied by the lecturers and will not be left alone.
