Students enrolled in full-time bachelor's degree programs are required to participate in a study abroad program for at least one semester during their studies. Fifty percent of the degree programs are offered as part-time studies, which also enables employed professionals to study at weekends or in a blocked form.

At present, a network of 190 international partner universities is maintained, because the obligatory exchange program is an integral part of all degree programs.
