Flexible learning spaces
We believe that to enhance the individual learning goals of BITLASI, a combination of learning spaces must be provided to students during the 4 years of the Bachelor.
Based on that, the program is built upon various learning environments, including the BITLASI room, online platforms, Fab Lab, media room, company facilities, and international ecosystems in Europe and Asia. There is no better way to understand an ecosystem than by experiencing it firsthand.
