Scheduled track:
You participate into scheduled contact lessons. You studies are progressing in the pace of the group schedule and self paced learning activities.

Independent track:
If you are working in a company, organization or a higher education project aligned with the study unit learning outcomes, you are able to complete the study unit in your workplace. In this case contact your responsible teacher in the beginning of the studies to agree with a development project you can execute in your work. Successful completion requires you study the topics in theory and practice. You must show your skills via a demonstration, which is determined based on learning objectives.

Blended track:
You study the topics by yourself and execute required learning activities. In this case contact your responsible teacher in the beginning of the studies to agree on the required activities and demonstration of your skills

Employer connections
