That means the students can organize their schedule freely, minor in one field and major in another, travel abroad on international exchange and get ready for those trips by taking some of the available 30 foreign language courses which never interfere with the specialty subjects. As a reflection of global academic trends, more and more lectures (seperate courses and whole study programmes) are taught in English, many of them by professors from abroad.
