Study Concept and Process

We believe that exams in the form of written tests are not suitable for accurately reflecting the competencies you have gained. Therefore, you will find few written exams in exam form in this degree program. We test your learning progress throughout the studies online in the form of essays, online presentations and speeches, or in so-called E-portfolios. For you, this means: No travel effort for exams and less exam stress - thus, a fair chance for excellent performance evaluations that correspond to your actual knowledge and skills.

Keeping a balance between studies, work, and life is a great challenge. Therefore, support during this crucial phase of your life is essential: the support from family, understanding in your company, and especially the personal, consistently service-oriented support from your university. That's why we rely on a unique interdisciplinary coaching team consisting of professors, lecturers, and study coaches. Your personal study coach is your contact for all matters relating to your studies. Whether by phone, email, or via the messenger on studynet - your study coach advises and actively supports you on your way to a successful degree. Together, we create the necessary balance and thus the prerequisite for you to continuously grow in your studies - achieving something that seemed out of reach at the beginning.

Whether at home or on the go, on your desktop, laptop, tablet, or smartphone - your campus is always with you. Our studynet learning platform is at once an auditorium, seminar room, campus, and cafeteria. "Social Learning" is the keyword: a holistic learning experience that consistently emphasizes dialogue using a variety of media formats.

For example, with many features that you are already familiar with from your usual social media platforms: Connect with each other and exchange ideas via the messenger. Stay up to date with the Activity Board, your onlineplus Timeline. And find out in your personal Learning Analytics what you have already achieved and where you stand. During the kick-off study camp, open learning camps, as well as optional additional events on-site, we create opportunities to deepen and expand your contacts in the world of onlineplus. Thus, you will experience an active learning community that accompanies you throughout your studies and will continue to be a valuable network for you, even as an alumni of Fresenius University.

At onlineplus, studying is a method.
