2B Curriculum Serving Success 2.0 (2005)<br />
2B.1 Organisation and structure of the IHM curriculum<br />
Curriculum structure<br />
<strong>The</strong> four-year curriculum of IHM full time consists of a foundation phase of 1 year, and a postfoundation<br />
phase of 3 years. Each of the first three years of the programme is divided into 2<br />
semesters of two modules each. Elective modules are offered during the minor phase in the<br />
third academic year. <strong>The</strong> elective modules enable the student to gain more wide-ranging and indepth<br />
knowledge of subjects that are of special interest to him. As an alternative to choosing<br />
elective modules, students can take part in an exchange programme at a university or<br />
professional university abroad. <strong>The</strong> 4 th year is set aside for industrial placement. <strong>The</strong><br />
programme operated by our Education can be depicted as follows:<br />

Study load of the IHM curriculum<br />
<strong>The</strong> statutory requirement is that a student of higher education must invest 1680 hours per<br />
academic year in his education. <strong>The</strong>se hours are called study load hours (SLH). In the law the<br />
study load is expressed in study credits. <strong>The</strong> study load of an academic year equals 60 credits.<br />
One credit equals therefore 28 SLH. 1 <strong>The</strong> law also requires that students work in educational<br />
units of at least 28 SLH. <strong>The</strong> IHM curriculum is comprised of various types of educational units<br />
including full-time modules with a study load of 336 hours and a completion time of 9 weeks as<br />
well as other activities involving SLH‟s of 28 to 168 hours. All educational activities including<br />
lectures, PBL meetings, individual study, introduction lectures, self-management/study career<br />
coaching, industrial orientation, tests, writing module assignments etc. are included in the<br />
calculation of the study load and are therefore taken into account when determining the credits.<br />
<strong>The</strong> study load for the foundation year is 60 credits, and the study load for the post-foundation<br />
phase is 180 credits .<br />
