Hybrid teaching concept (online and face-to-face teaching)

Due to the many IT-supported processes and the digital transformation in healthcare, the use of digital tools, for example in the context of telemedicine, has become part of everyday life. Therefore, competent use of this medium is an essential component of the future professional profile. The combination of online and in-person teaching ideally prepares students for their future careers. Thus, the Department has opted for an innovative combination of online and in-person teaching hybrid teaching concept of the Department s It offers the necessary flexibility to study in a family-friendly way and to be less tied to a specific location. From a sustainability perspective, we can also focus mobility on what is necessary and reduce costs for students.

The courses in the Bachelor's programme in Medical Management at the Department of Health and Social Sciences (GES) are offered both online and in person. Generally, in-person instruction takes place on two fixed days per week and online instruction on three fixed days per week each semester. The schedule of days will be communicated to students in a timely and appropriate manner at the beginning of each semester. Modules can be delivered entirely in person, entirely online, or a combination of both formats, taking into account the designated online and in-person days. In both formats, the courses will be held at the scheduled time (live, according to the regular timetable).

The explained division of weekdays into in-person and online teaching can, in practice, look like this for semesters 1 to 7 of the Bachelor's degree programme in Medical Management:
