learning outcomeParticipants are able to recognize their individual stress factors, deal with them and activate personal resources for coping with stress. They are able to optimize their time and learning management for successful studies and to act more relaxed in exam situations. Participants can use the key skills they have acquired for their studies and later professional life to maintain and strengthen their (mental) health and performance.

-       Stress during studies
-       Stress and its effects
