# Format & Duration

Each contact time phase is offered as an intensive week, Monday through Friday of the week with primarily all-day lectures and seminars.

Each Module is worth 3 US credit hours, which is 5 ECTS Points (150 hours). The thesis modules comprise 20 ECTS for Pentecostal-Charismatic Studies and 5 + 15 for Marriage and Family Studies. The final Thesis is obligatory for the master's degree. The thesis is a single piece of writing; evaluated by two tutors or faculty.

The practical theology and supervision modules are administered differently but require 150 hours.

# Modules

The contact time of each module is separated into different teaching units which consist of lectures, seminars, exercises, group work, presentations, reports, and self-study (achromatic, dialog, and heuristic forms).

# Blended Learning

The contact time is complemented through E-Learning. Moodle is used as Learning Content Management System (LCMS). With its help, study content and activities are managed and organized. The support is applied in three phases:

\- Phase 1 = Activation of the module on Moodle, at the latest two weeks before the contact time phase (normally three weeks before). During this phase, the study starts through self-study including interactive elements on Moodle including reading assignments (Learning and Content Management).

\- Phase 2 = Contact time phase. During this phase, Moodle is used mainly for managing the study content (Content Management).

\- Phase 3 = Starts with the end of the contact time phase and ends two weeks after the contact time. Mainly compiling written assignments, as well as some interactive elements on Moodle.
