This is a blended learning programme, combining moderated online teaching and independent study.

This means that students can adjust the time spent on study and intensity of the course to meet their individual needs. Students then meet with teachers online to consolidate and expand their knowledge. The moderated online classes also offer the opportunity to exchange ideas with teaching staff and other degree participants. Students also have the option of participating in a one-week study trip to Berlin. Using a mix of methodical teaching approaches and real-world projects, participants develop the ability to apply their expertise creatively in order to find solutions to international problems.
