When developing our course content, we aim to meet the highest scientific standards and to design our modules with a practical orientation. For this reason, some modules are still under development at the beginning of a re-accredited degree program: these are available according to the semester planning of the study schedule. This means that nothing stands in the way of you starting your degree program at the earliest possible start date!
