The mode of study is flexible for participants depending on their location and personal situation.
Both modes, i.e. online as well as in-person lectures and workshops on campus, are possible and can be combined based on individual preferences. Online modules can be taken at one's own pace. Modules on campus are scheduled according to the semester and lecture dates.

The Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen (THM) is the one of the largest universities of applied sciences in Germany and the largest in the state of Hesse. It has its roots in the centre of Hesse and thus has particularly strong ties to partners in the region (e.g. companies, municipalities). With its 12 faculties and the Centre for Cooperative Degrees, THM offers 79 degree programmes to over 15,000 students, of which 12% are internationals (data from winter semester 2023/24). The study programmes are tailored to meet the demands of various sectors and industries. The foundation for the high-quality degree programmes at the THM is laid by the unity of applied research and teaching, which is also characterised by close partnerships with a large number of external partners.
THM is located in the centre of Hesse and has three campuses:
Giessen Campus (65 km north of Frankfurt)
Friedberg Campus (35 km north of Frankfurt)
Wetzlar Campus (65 km north-west of Frankfurt)
