Clusters & Modules
The peculiarity of the study plan is the subdivision into Educational Clusters, integrated, and multidisciplinary, courses consisting of 3 ECTS teaching modules. The amount of ECTS for each cluster ranges from a minimum of 12 ECTS and a maximum of 18 ECTS.
The single modules can be followed by students according to their needs and with the support of tutors and lecturers. At the end of each module, there will be an assessment and the subsequent issue of an Open Badge, with certification of the skills acquired consistent with the EU-ESCO framework.
The recording and acquisition of ECTS takes place only upon completion of all the modules of the Cluster. The completion of the Educational Cluster also includes the issuance of a Milestone Badge.
Elective and English language courses are not included in the Clusters, but are still delivered in mixed mode. Supplementary teaching activities (internships and workshops) take place on campus with compulsory attendance.
