Implementation methods, demonstration and Work&Study

Depending on the implementation, learning takes place in contact lessons, as independent studies, teamwork and online-studies. Implementations can include literature, assignments, R&D co-operation and company projects. The course includes the assessment of one’s own learning.

Recognition of prior learning (RPL)
If students have acquired the required competence in previous work tasks, recreational activities or on another course, they can show their competence via a demonstration. The demonstration must be agreed with the course teacher.
