The program runs for two years, with two semesters (or terms) per year. The first three terms comprise two modules each, with 4-6 courses per module. The fourth and final term will be dedicated to writing the MA thesis. Thus, the program comprises three half-year semesters of full-time courses, followed by one semester spent writing the thesis. Students receive instruction from a team of professors from around the world, selected for their leading expertise in their respective fields. Lectures take place entirely online. Students can thus choose the pace at which they work through the lectures. Additionally, students enjoy the academic support and guidance from multiple tutors, all of whom are highly qualified to respond to questions and to help guide research.
