This is an overview of the study contents and the course structure

The number of credit points assigned to each module depends on the scope of the module and the associated workload. Each module concludes with an examination (paper, exam, or oral examination). All credit points you earn will be credited to you, and you will receive proof of this. Your achievements are thus comparable and recognized – also internationally.
