Electives for 120 ECTS Option

In this programme, you can choose electives in order to specialise in a field you’re interested in. Here’s a short introduction to some electives:

Globalisation, demographic changes, and digitalisation mean that diversity in organisations is constantly increasing. This makes diversity management all the more important. In this module you will learn how to tap into and use the diversity of individual competences, characteristics, attitudes and cultural backgrounds of employees by means of various methods and concepts for the success of the organisation. The focus is on recognising and respecting differences in all their forms, such as origin, gender, age, religion, sexual orientation, etc., in order to develop the ability to understand, engage and integrate people with different backgrounds and world views.

HUMAN PERFORMANCE

The module focuses on biohacking—a new approach to optimising health and output. You get an overview of how biohacking can contribute to these factors as well as empirically supported results on the influence of diet, exercise, sleep, and light on health and performance. You will learn both how to apply these to your own life and how to advise clients and colleagues.
