Teaching concept
The course is aimed equally at school leavers who are aiming for a professional entry into the respective industry, as well as at people who already have work experience and would like to pursue academic education as a part-time job. The majority of the course content is developed in self-study . In addition to specially prepared study books and additional practical phases, e-learning methods such as online lectures, online tutorials and web-based training are offered, which can be accessed via the university's own online campus. There is also a learning app.
In addition to the compulsory modules of general management and the subject-specific modules, students have the opportunity to take elective modules tailored to their interests. While the face-to-face seminars take place in Düsseldorf, face-to-face exams can also be taken in Essen, Frankfurt am Main, Hamburg, Berlin, Munich, Weil am Rhein and in the Stuttgart area. In addition to a classic six-semester variant, an eight-semester part-time variant is offered. You can choose to do internships or semesters abroad.
