Education format

The program offers a unique advantage with its flexible program format. Students have the option to choose between an on-campus hybrid format or fully online, giving them the freedom to tailor their learning experience to their individual needs. Most courses are organized on-campus, ensuring a collaborative and engaging learning environment. However, for added convenience and accessibility, courses from certain concentrations are organized virtually. This blended approach provides students with the best of both worlds, combining face-to-face interactions with the convenience of online learning. Additionally, modules such as the Final Projects are organized virtually, allowing students to complete them fully remotely. This flexibility enables students to balance their professional and personal commitments while pursuing their degree.
