In the first semester - the study is conducted in lectures (including industry guest lectures) and exercises that include real-world case analysis
In the second semester - the study will take place in 2 courses combined:
Track A - 120 semester hours - Industry specialization
Track B - Peer Study Meeting (Small Group Learning) - The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the dilemmas and realities that the student is exposed to and analyze them in the project toolbox (taught in Master A) in order to embed the tools into the realities of the contemporary world of work.
