The teaching staff comprises 123 professors, three assistant professors and 15 teachers for special tasks. The EAH's total staff of 445 further includes 116 people engaged in various projects, 186 in administration and services, and two apprentices.Bachelor is the first academic degree. A Bachelor's study extends over a standard period of six to eight semesters and comprises a number of study modules. The Bachelor graduate is qualified to enter an appropriate profession or a Master's study. Students taking up a Master's study should have successfully completed a first-degree (Bachelor or Diplom) course, as a rule. Master's studies for full-time students extend over one or two years. They may be oriented either towards deepening the scientific penetration of the subject of the first-degree study, or towards accessing an added field of knowledge. A dual study is distinguished by close interlocking of theory and practice. The study course integrates training phases in a collaborating business enterprise.
