What will I learn?

Curriculum from the university’s official documents. Evaluated on 15 October 2026.

This curriculum is incomplete: not every document or elective catalogue could be evaluated. The university’s linked documents are authoritative.

Tracks and specialisations

  • Studium mit Praxissemester · 30 ECTS
  • Studium mit Auslandssemester · 30 ECTS

From the evaluated documents we could not derive a semester plan that matches the programme’s duration and ECTS – so the modules are listed without semesters. The university’s study plan is authoritative.
