Course Timetable
Time Management
Maximum flexibility and self-directed study: these are the key requirements for a course of study designed with today’s working professionals in mind. The DUW study model addresses both of these requirements.
For example: The continuing education courses leading to a master’s degree at DUW are designed to take 24 months in most cases. Your study materials and online seminars present most of the course content and allow you to schedule your learning flexibly: learn whenever and wherever you choose in supervised independent study. The on-site seminars complement and solidify the course content. The on-site seminars are distributed in intervals of about three months over the entire duration of the programme, and limited to a total of 18 days. This saves your vacation time and helps you integrate your continuing education studies in your professional and personal life. And in case you’re unable to attend a given on-site seminar, you can simply make it up later. Studies at DUW are designed to be flexible so that your learning progress is guaranteed.
Special MBA Course Components
- Field trip to China, South Korea, Central or Eastern Europe, or the US:
The five-day field trip is a special learning and teaching format, and an integral part of all master’s degree courses at DUW. It plays a special part in ensuring that your continuing education studies are relevant to actual practice. The field trip is an opportunity for a supervised, reflective examination of key aspects of the professional field concerned. You will receive insights into typical departments and divisions of companies, government agencies or organizations that are relevant to the topic and and subject matter of the given master’s degree course. On site in a working organization, you will engage in a scientific dialog with practitioners and discuss selected issues pertaining to the professional field with them. This enables you to recognize practical applications of your knowledge, and thus reinforces the sustainability of the skills you have acquired in your studies. You may choose to conduct your field trip in the United States, China, South Korea or Central or Eastern Europe. - Executive shadowing:
