The respective examination and study regulations define how and through which modules*/courses these credits are acquired and whether elective options are available here. A further 36 credits are earned in the professionalisation area. The respective examination and study regulations regulate which options are available in this area. The remaining 12 credits are acquired through the Bachelor's thesis. The standard period of study amounts to six semesters.
