Study flexibly at RheinMain University of Applied Sciences

In a constantly changing world, it is essential that
educational paths can be individually designed.
The last few years have clearly shown that, with an increasingly heterogeneous student population,
the focus must be on different needs, which are very similar in some aspects depending on the students' starting point, but also differ in other areas: for example, students who work part-time are, other requirements regarding the ability to plan studies and work, such as students with care responsibilities who sometimes have to react to everyday realities at short notice.

From tailored self-study courses to modular programs to
practice-oriented projects – with “Quis flex@HSRM” HSRM aims to offer a variety of options to meet the different needs of students:

1. Flexible Bachelor's program in the Department of Engineering : In the future, the engineering course will start with a common study section in which modules will be offered multiple times, so that a more flexible study design will be possible. Choosing a focus allows you to tailor your own studies more precisely.
2. Digital self-learning units for “Future Skills” : Tailored digital
   self-learning units focus on the development of future skills in order to strengthen skills in the key areas for the working world of tomorrow. These additionally acquired skills can be documented in the form of microdegrees.
3. Interdisciplinary project marketplace : A digital platform will make comprehensive project ideas visible and allow students to participate in innovative projects and deepen their knowledge in practice.
4. “Flex Badge” for selected study programs : Particularly flexible
   study programs are made visible using a “Flex Badge”.
   This label identifies study programs that enable better compatibility with care or employment and allow you to choose between different study speeds.
5. Hybrid teaching and learning settings : Flexible learning space architectures should enable adaptation to the different learning needs of students and, among other things, promote hybrid collaborations.
6. AI-supported advice for individual flexibility : The increased consultation effort due to individual educational paths should be reinforced by AI-supported consulting services.
7. Low-threshold testing of flexibilization projects : Upon request, smaller flexibilization projects in individual study programs can be financially supported and tested at a low threshold.
