THE LEARNING EXPERIENCE

There is a total of 15 modules: 11 mandatory modules and 4 elective modules. Students will complete the programme online using our online learning platform. During the first four semesters, students will take three to four modules per semester. The estimated time commitment is 125 hours to successfully complete one module. During the fifth semester, students focus on completing their Master’s theses.

As the curriculum has been designed for online, self-paced study, there are only fixed dates for module exams. There is also only one in-person programme requirement: students must visit our university to take the oral examination in Berlin, with the board of examiners. In the second and fourth semesters, we offer our students the opportunity to attend one week of classes on campus as part of an elective. This allows students to have a blended learning experience as part of their studies.

To facilitate the learning process and make it as comfortable and efficient as possible, we offer our students the following blend of different educational methods and services.
