Workload:
It is expected that the average student will require 120 hours of study to acquire the necessary
knowledge and abilities. These hours can be divided as follows:
24 hours attendance of lectures and practical courses
20 hours regular study of the syllabus
26 hours guided introduction to software
30 hours preparation of seminar-work
20 hours exam preparation
This is worth 4 credits.
