In stage I studies, small groups (max. 30 people) look at the teaching content individually in further detail in seminar exercises. Pre-produced timetables are provided for each semester based on the study schedules. Four semesters of standard basic study, followed by specialisation with a free choice of the branch of study/profile recommendation.

Opportunity to deepen studies in a core area, whereby a broad spectrum of specialisations is offered; Option to supplement this core area with interdisciplinary subjects; International orientation through ERASMUS partner universities; Curriculum is based on both international industry practice and the research profile of the supporting institutes
