The lectures take place for the most part in presence and online. Study materials are made available to students to enable asynchronous self-organized learning.

Lecture-free period phases during the summer and Christmas periods.

The team of lecturers in the program includes both top-class scientists and experienced practitioners. In this way, well-founded information from science and research is combined with a high degree of practical relevance.

Participants in this course come from a wide variety of fields and can greatly benefit from diverse learning groups, to expand their horizon. We offer interdisciplinary exchange in a relaxed atmosphere.
