Toolbox for supporting the development of study programs

This page contains automatically translated content.

The University of Kassel ensures the goal of attractive and easy-to-study modern degree programs by continuously revising the range of courses on offer. There are two main processes in the development of degree programs: New establishments and further developments. The degree program concept is a fundamental component in both processes. The program concept is also aligned with the required accreditation documents. The toolbox offers you helpful methods and instruments for the development of the study program concept. You will also find tips and links for further steps in the development of the degree program. This toolbox was created in the project "Modernization of study programmes" (duration 2021 - 2025) as part of the Concerted Action Teaching. Here you will find an overview of all 8 steps of the Concerted Action Teaching from awareness-raising to the finished degree program.
