Study Concept and Process

We are convinced that exams in the form of written tests are not suitable for capturing your actual acquired competencies. Therefore, in this course, you will rarely find written exams in test form. We test your learning progress continuously and online through term papers, online presentations and reports, or in so-called e-portfolios. For you, this means: no travel effort for exams and less exam stress - and thus a fair chance for outstanding performance evaluations that correspond to your actual knowledge and competence level.

Balancing studies, work, and life is a major challenge. That's why support during this pivotal phase of your life is crucial: the support of family, understanding from your company, and most importantly, the personal, consistently service-oriented guidance from your university. Therefore, we rely on a unique interdisciplinary coaching team consisting of professors, lecturers, and study coaches. Your personal study coach is your contact person for all matters related to your studies. Whether by phone, email, or via the messenger in studynet - your study coach advises and actively supports you on your journey to a successful graduation. Together, we create the necessary balance and thus the prerequisite for you to continuously grow in your studies - achieving something that initially seemed out of reach.

Whether at home or on the go, on desktop, laptop, tablet, or smartphone - your campus is always with you. Our studynet learning platform is a lecture hall, seminar room, campus, and cafeteria all in one. "Social learning" is the keyword: a holistic learning experience that consistently builds on dialogue in addition to the use of a variety of different media formats.

For example, with many features that you already know from your familiar social media platforms: Connect with each other and exchange messages through the messenger. Stay up to date with the activity board, your onlineplus timeline. And find out in your personal learning analytics what you have achieved and where you stand. At the kick-off studycamp, at the open learning camps, and at optional other events on-site, we create opportunities to deepen and expand your contacts from the world of onlineplus. This way, you'll experience an active learning community that accompanies you throughout your studies and will continue to be a valuable network for you beyond that, as an alumnus of Fresenius University.

At onlineplus, studying is a method. Structure and pacing characterize the learning organization at onlineplus, providing clear guidance and fundamentally setting it apart from traditional distance learning programs. You start flexibly at a time you choose and are guided through similarly structured learning units, modules, and semesters based on our study magazines, the studymags, via individually planned milestones.

This enables you to learn in manageable stages that provide regular moments of success and new motivation in your studies. The recommended study plan by onlineplus offers you the flexibility of numerous adjustment options that you can tailor to your personal learning style, preferred study times, and your own pace. This way, you'll find the exact study programme that suits you.

Throughout, you have full transparency: At any point, you can see your individual learning progress, meaning what you have already accomplished, where you currently stand, and exactly what lies ahead of you. The innovative and intuitive study format thus lays the foundation for the feasibility and success of your entire online study.
