Curriculum
90 CP program curriculum table was not published on the official Hochschule Fresenius program page, and the required official credit-point curriculum table/module handbook (Modulhandbuch/Studienverlaufsplan/Prüfungsordnung annex with CP per module) could not be retrieved from the official sources accessible during this research run. Only the program-level credit total (90 CP) is available from an official accreditation report; per-module and per-semester CP could not be verified, so no ECTS/CP breakdown can be provided without inventing values.
