• Each course module comprises synchronous live video course sessions on two Friday afternoons/evenings (4:15 pm to 8:15 pm CEST) and two Saturdays (8:30 am to 3:30 pm CEST) supplemented by case study processing and self-study via our e-learning platform.
• The nature of the programme is primarily online. The lectures and examinations take place online. A few courses take place in parallel in a hybrid mode (together with our MBA courses), so that students who live in or close to our university location (near Stuttgart/ Germany) can also join from time to time in person (if they wish).
• Early registration pays off: Of the total 20 Master's student places per semester, 15 are allocated on a first-come-first-served basis, with the other five allocated at the application deadline based on final Bachelor's degree grade and relevance of work experience.
