Curriculum

The REMENA master’s program can be studied in two different study modes based on the sites where the studies are accomplished. Therefore, the REMENA master's program has established a network called REMENA university network (RUN) including three core partner universities, namely, the University of Kassel (Germany), JNTU Hyderabad (India), and the University of Monastir (Tunisia). In addition, the REMENA University Network (RUN) includes associated partners: the German University in Cairo (GUC, Egypt) and the University of Sfax (Tunisia).

The REMENA master's program offers three main types of modules offered in different universities. The modules include:

I.        Basic (B) Modules

II.       Elective (E) Modules

III.      Thesis (T) Project Module (Master Thesis)

The basic modules being taken during the first two semesters of the study in the REMENA master’s program are Compulsory. Clearly, each student is free to select combinations from the elective modules complying with the examination rules and corresponding to the individual knowledge and interest in the different areas. Finally, the module Thesis Project, comprising 30 credit points (CP) according to the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) is to be conducted during the fourth semester.

Depending on the chosen study mode students get the double degree Kassel-Hyderabad from UKAS and JNTUH or the double degree Kassel-Monastir from UKAS and UM. 

Studying according to one of the above-mentioned modes requires a successful passing of the basic modules during the first two semesters which in total are 32 CP, a minimum of 58 CP chosen from the elective modules as well as the module Thesis Project of 30 CP to be conducted during the fourth semester.
