Modules
Definition
Modules are thematic units of a degree program that combine several courses on a subject area. Each module is completed with an exam and evaluated with ECTS points. Typical modules in MBA programs are, for example, Finance, Marketing, Leadership or Strategic Management.
Example: "The semester consists of four compulsory modules and one elective module."
