Description of the practice
The practice is about allowing the students to have access to the lecturers’ timetable and therefore to create their own timetable. The university requires certain subjects (the number of subjects is counter-proportional to the number of semesters) and therefore the student does not have total freedom in terms of subjects. A list of the other subjects in the course is made available to students by the university. It is up to the student to choose these subjects and to arrange his or her individual schedule. Furthermore, the university offers the possibility of realising a specialisation as part of the course of study. The university’s approach to this is also very flexible. Unlike other universities, a specialisation is not a certain stage of studies, but a group of skills that the university equips the student with. Accordingly, SGH requires its students to pass five subjects within a specialisation. Once again, it has been made possible to pass the required subjects at the student’s convenience.
