Next to subject-relevant competencies students will gain extrafunctional competencies. These are technological competencies using relevant communication media as well as competencies in writing (business style and academic). These extra-functional competencies are relevant due to the didactic concept of the course (mostly online and interactive). Students will write an academic paper concerning the most recent research in the field. They will develop a methodology to approach complex learning areas as well as to find individual solutions to selected academic research questions.
