- Value a personalized learning environment: At the Lucas Cranach Campus, you’ll benefit from small study groups, direct contact with faculty, and strong connections with regional partners and companies.
Possible career paths after graduation: As a graduate, you’ll help shape the digital and sustainable world of tomorrow—for example, as a transformation manager, smart city consultant, innovation coach, or project manager in municipalities, companies, associations, and NGOs.
The program itself is tuition-free! Since these are state-funded degree programs (at Coburg University of Applied Sciences and Hof University of Applied Sciences), there are no tuition fees.
You only need to pay a standard semester fee each semester. This fee consists of the contribution to the Oberfranken Student Services Organization and the semester pass for public transportation.
Note: You can find up-to-date information on the exact amount of the semester fee on the websites of Coburg University of Applied Sciences and Hof University of Applied Sciences.
Courses are offered in a hybrid format:
- In-person: On consecutive weekends at the Kronach campus (Lucas Cranach Campus / Hof University of Applied Sciences).
- Online: Supplementary lectures are held digitally on weekday afternoons.
This format offers maximum flexibility, allowing you to organize your studies in the best possible way.
