- Beginning and Duration
The International Management & Information Systems – Online (IMIS Online) programme commences every winter semester in September/October. It is a part-time Master's degree designed for working professionals, with a standard duration of four semesters or two years.
Mode of Study
IMIS Online is primarily an online programme, allowing you to study from anywhere while continuing your professional career. The curriculum is delivered through a blend of e-lectures, web-based trainings, interactive virtual collaborative sessions, and consequent course coordination via a learning management system.
Two short on-campus phases supplement the online learning experience – an introductory week at the start and a summer camp. These face-to-face components foster networking and hands-on learning but can also be attended virtually if physical presence is not possible.
Pace of Study
Approximately 80% of the course content is self-paced, enabling you to learn at your own pace and convenience while balancing work and personal commitments. Online meetings and interactive sessions are scheduled outside of regular working hours to accommodate your professional schedule.
Assessments are conducted through portfolio examinations throughout the semester, eliminating the need for a designated examination period. This flexible approach allows you to acquire new knowledge and skills without disrupting your career progression.
