University and study concept

The UAM follows a semi virtual study concept. The majority of the study takes place virtually by using a modern online learning and communication platform. In addition, three attendance phases are provided per semester at a distance of about eight weeks. The presence phases last five days and serve to attend lectures and courses, and in order to take examinations. During the virtual phases the students use multimedia based work equipment to acquire the knowledge. The teaching methods are based on a blended learning approach and aim at a problem-based learning, which increases the learning success and problem-solving skills, and also encourages the transfer of theory into practice. The University of Applied Management also offers business services, for example in its role as a corporate university or by offering cooperation in the context of dual degree programmes. In addition, market-based services such as market analysis and monitorings are offered. The course contents are very practically oriented which is reflected in practical exercises and case studies in the context of the examinations. The university cooperates tightly with enterprises and associations in order to integrate the latest business and market trends into its curriculum. The Privatuniversity Castle Seeburg and the H:G University of Health and Sports, Technique and Art are to affiliated universities that also rely on the semi virtual study approach.[2]
