The program combines the latest academic research with comprehensive practical expertise and offers students a part-time course for professionals with a globally recognized academic degree and major practical relevance.

• The master’s degree consists of 11 study modules, each consisting of three to four days of in-person teaching, supplemented by intensive preparation and revision and an examination.
• On successful completion of the 11 modules, you will go on to write and defend a master’s thesis.
• Most of the modules are taught in person in Basel and enhanced by interactive digital learning methods.
• One to three study modules involve a study visit to Tilburg or Utrecht.
• One study module usually comprises a teaching time of three days. The course workload is expressed using ECTS (European credit transfer system) points.
• One ECTS point is the equivalent of 30 hours’ study. The course consists of a minimum of 60 ECTS points.
• This amounts to a workload of around 1,700 hours spread over a period of 15 months.
  
  We recommend our students adapt their workload accordingly.
