Course Structure

Learning takes place through a combination of face-to-face teaching and independent study, including lectures, practical tutorials, laboratory sessions, personal development sessions, real-life project briefs and case studies.

Students study 60 ECTS credits per year. The course structure is validated by the Technical University of Munich (26th in World University Rankings 2025), but the structure of the course is a subject to change by feedback received from a variety of sources.
