Methods of Teaching and Learning

The teaching is delivered by means of lectures, tutorials, workshops and projects. The teaching methods employed will be interactive in nature and class participation is actively encouraged. Learning will be facilitated by individual and group research, case study analysis, class discussion and small group work. Students are required to present their work orally and in written format to complement the learning outcomes.

Students are integrated into consulting and research projects within the framework of project-oriented lessons. This ensures that theory is linked to current working practice and applied research.

Assessment

Assessment of knowledge, understanding and key skills is completed either through a written assignment, a presentation, an examination or any combination of these. These assessments can be completed either as part of a group or on an individual basis.

Teaching Location

Lectures in the MSc in Business Information Systems programme will mainly be held on the Olten campus. Lectures and student projects in particular those related to the field of E-Business, can take place on the Basel campus.
