Study progress

The standard period of study is three semesters, divided into two semesters of theoretical study and one semester for the Master's thesis. The programme is offered in a block format, meaning that approximately every other calendar week, two to three-day blocks (a total of six days per month) take place at THM . As a dual study programme, the learning locations of the university and the workplace alternate. Practical training at the workplace is provided through project work.

In the dual Master's Degree Courses , the theoretical phases are generally divided into three-day blocks, usually taking place from Thursday to Saturday. The project phases are conducted additionally during the lecture period, spanning multiple semesters. The first project phase runs parallel to the first semester. The second project phase encompasses the entire second semester. In the third semester, in addition to two theoretical modules, the Master's thesis is written, culminating in a colloquium.
