Study mode

Our part-time Master’s degree programme is compatible with career and family. The high proportion of e-learning and consequent freedom to work anywhere is a key advantage.

Lectures are scheduled for Thursdays, from 18:00 until approx. 21:30, Fridays from 14:00 until approx. 21:30, and Saturdays from 08:45 to around 16:30. Your time is divided between attending lectures and online study units: Thursdays are principally taught online, Fridays and Saturdays are split between classroom teaching and online units. A broadband connection and a headset are required for the e-learning units.

Self-study

The amount of self-study always depends on the student’s own level of commitment and ambition.

Attendance

Attendance is compulsory during the specified attendance times. Students are excused in cases of illness after producing a medical certificate from a doctor. Final judgement on the implications of absence and on exceptions to the attendance requirement will be made by the head of institute.
