The design of a self-study that is flexible and adapted to individual learning processes is ensured by e-lectures, web-based trainings, interactive virtual collaborative learning concepts as well as by a consequent course coordination through the Learning Management System Moodle.

The modules in the first three semesters have a scope of 20 credits. The fourth semester comprises 30 credits.
