Flexible Learning Methodology

The Master follows the highest standards of teaching methodology set by the EFMD. The course uses a variety of teaching methods, including interactive lectures, case study analyses, tutorials, discussions, group work, video lectures, business analysis and student presentations. Students are encouraged to actively participate through reading, discussions and debates.

The teaching approach is based on active learning, with an emphasis on student involvement and practical application of the knowledge acquired. Teachers adopt a student-centred approach, providing activities that allow students to put what they have learnt into practice. The online methodology involves real-time interactive lessons, led and guided by the lecturers. The programmes are self-directed, which means that students can follow the pre-master courses at their own pace and use self-assessment exercises to check their understanding. This practical and applicable methodology includes both synchronous and asynchronous activities.

Students are free to learn at their own pace and define personal learning paths based on their individual needs and interests, as well as the content provided, taking into account the deadlines for learning, evaluation and assessments. The self-paced methodology is applied on the pre-master courses, which are based on pre-recorded interactive sessions led by the lecturer professor, with a PPT presentation, exercises and self-assessment for each course. Students study the material at their own pace and do a self-assessment exercise to track their progress.
