Flexible Degree Course (Studium Flexibel: The content of semester 1 +2 is extended over 4 semesters in order to optimise the learning environment, improve exam results and reduce the drop-out rate. Participants attend half of the regular lectures and practical courses, receive support in Maths and Programming, and are accompanied by a student coach. Cooperative model: Cooperation with companies to make use of what has been learned from the first semester: Studying 4 days per week, working in the company 1 day per week. Teaching Qualification degree programme option at the vocational college = Master's degree programme option (MEd) in cooperation with the University of Siegen and the University of Wuppertal.
