Learning model
METHODOLOGYOur online courses offer complete flexibility, allowing students to access content whenever it suits them throughout the week. We recommend dedicating between 8 and 10 hours weekly to stay up-to-date with the tutor-scheduled assignments, though the actual time required may vary depending on prior knowledge of the subject or professional experience in the field. On the virtual campus, students will have access to all essential resources for their progress, including notes, podcasts, videos, articles, and case studies, all under the precise guidance of a tutor who will provide directions on activities and deadlines.
Moreover, the courses feature several live webinars led by the professor or invited experts. While attending these webinars in real time is recommended, sessions will be recorded and made available on the virtual campus for later viewing. The courses are structured in two phases: a theoretical phase during the first two weeks, followed by a practical phase in the last three weeks.
