- Beginning
The programme can be started on the first day of each month. Since the lectures and examinations are repeated continuously, it is possible to start your studies at any time without any problems.
Duration
The duration depends on the programme. Normally, 30 ECTS will take one semester. This means if your programme is 120 ECTS, the standard duration of the programme will be four semesters. But it really depends on your individual study plan. The programme can be studied with 60, 90, or 120 ECTS.
After the tuition fees have been paid, the study programme at SRH Distance Learning University (SRH DLU) can be extended up to twice the standard period of study free of charge. If you need more time to complete your degree after the double standard period of study has ended, we will charge a monthly administration fee.

Our programme is fully online. Once you enrol, you will get access to our E-Campus, where you can find all the information you need for your studies.
