You can find our fields of study in our overview
If you would like to test out of several courses before starting a regular course to find out which course suits you the best, you can participate in our Orientation Studies.
Furthermore, DIT's Further Education Centre offers not only full-time but also numerous part-time courses of study and certificate courses as an opportunity for further qualification. A wide range of courses and modules can be taken from this offer. The crediting of completed modules towards a later full or part-time study is possible. We would like to point out that fees have to be paid for courses offered by the Weiterbildungszentrum.
You are welcome to contact our Student Recruitment for further information.
After successful completion of a module, the module student receives a certificate with grade and the ECTS points achieved. Modules of up to 30 ECTS points can be completed in one semester.
The modules are designed in such a way that they can be taken and completed either in one or in two consecutive semesters. A module can also be spread over several courses (lectures, exercises) on different days of the week.
Modules are offered either as regular attendance courses, partly also as evening or weekend courses, or as e-learning modules, so that you can organise your learning phases as individually as possible - besides work and family - and at the same time expand your professional network. The timetables for the respective semester will be announced shortly before the start of the semester.
Every enrolled student has access to the e-learning courses of the Virtual University of Bavaria.
Module students are provided with a changing offer of (intensive) language courses every semester. Language courses can only be taken in connection with a regular course.
Like all students, module students are registered as students for the respective semester and must re-register if they wish to take further modules in the next semester.

Statements on the module study
"I am Dirk and I am 45 years old. After graduating from school I wanted to earn money and I did an apprenticeship as an electrical engineer. After ten years in the profession, I attended the technical school and successfully completed it. Now, in order to advance professionally, I would like to gain further qualifications and acquire career-relevant knowledge. First, I will attend two selected courses for one semester. Only then do I intend to decide on a part-time degree programme. Fortunately, my boss supports me in my plans."
