At a glance
In a module study programme, you take a subject group (module) from a Master’s degree programme. This means that you do not participate in a complete degree programme, but only in a single module from the degree programme. You complete the module study programme with an examination. You will then receive a university certificate and a university transcript showing the ECTS credits earned. If you still want to take the Master’s programme at some point, you can have the completed module credited to you.

3 good reasons
Only study what really catches your interest
With a modular degree programme, you only study parts of a degree programme. This allows you to select the content that is relevant to you.
Keep the option open to catch up on your Master's degree
You will receive ECTS credits for the modules you have completed. If you are still interested in a Master’s programme at a later point in time, you can have the modules you have already completed credited to you. In this way, a degree programme can be completed in several stages.
