We deliver knowledge online. Subsequently four residential weeks will be organised where participants are exposed to other cultures, interact and get to know each other. These residential weeks consist of company visits, real-life case studies and team work. Residential weeks will be held at renowned universities in China, Thailand, Malaysia and Switzerland. The programme duration is usually 18 months, plus 6 months for the master thesis; a faster completion is possible. Our concept allows maximum flexibility due to its module structure and the rolling intake. About 70% of the contents are delivered online, 30% during residential weeks.
