| Summary: | Flexible learning is usually related to e-learning in order to create flexibility in the pace, place and content of study programmes. However, this is not the only study programme structure that can provide flexibility to learners. This article shows that other options, such as a high percentage of elective courses, a small amount of teaching hours, or a regular distribution of exams, improve the fit between the needs of a diverse student body and study structures. In order to test this correlation, a structural equation model is conducted using survey data from two German Universities of Applied Sciences.
