Study plans

Student’s learning activities are listed in the study plans.

Every year, students have to submit their study plans online within the dates stated by the administrative office. A communication with instructions and deadlines will be sent to your e-mail address.

Each study course and eventually each curriculum has its own standard study plan. Within the standard study plan guidelines is possible for students to make some individual choices.
