Your time matters. This programme is purpose-built for working professionals who want to see progress fast. With a well-structured pathway and focused modules, you can complete the degree fully online in as little as 12 months, while maintaining your professional and personal commitments in Bern.

The learning design emphasises momentum: clear objectives, applied assignments, and tutor feedback that keeps you moving forward. You’ll invest your energy where it matters most—developing capability and achieving mastery—without time lost to commuting or rigid timetabling.

No Requirement to Be Online at Specific Times

Life and work rarely follow a script. That’s why you won’t be required to be online at specific times and dates. Fit your studies around project milestones, travel, family commitments, and the unexpected demands that arise in dynamic roles.

With asynchronous learning, you decide when to read, watch, discuss, and complete assignments. Early mornings, late evenings, or weekends—the choice is yours. This flexibility supports sustained focus and genuine engagement, which ultimately leads to better learning outcomes.

Study Anywhere—On the Move, Offline, with Our Mobile App

Whether you are working from a café in the Old Town, commuting on the S-Bahn, or traveling across Switzerland and beyond, your classroom travels with you. Our mobile app lets you download study materials and watch lectures offline, keeping your progress uninterrupted.

Turn travel time into learning time. Review frameworks before a meeting, revisit a lecture on risk management during a train ride, or contribute to discussions while away on business. Your studies adapt to your rhythm, wherever your projects take you.

Open Book Assessments that Reward Real-World Thinking

Projects are delivered in complex, uncertain environments—rarely with simple, memorised answers. Our open book assessments mirror that reality. You’ll be evaluated on your ability to research, analyse, apply frameworks, and communicate insight—not on rote recall.

This approach cultivates the same higher-order skills you use on the job: synthesising information, framing decisions, and building evidence-based recommendations. It’s an assessment philosophy that respects your professional maturity and accelerates your growth.

Guidance matters. Our tutors and faculty bring academic credentials from world-renowned institutions, including Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel, and Washington University in St. Louis. They pair scholarly depth with practical sensibility, supporting you to bridge theory and application.

Expect mentorship that challenges your thinking, refines your judgement, and strengthens your leadership voice. You’ll receive constructive, actionable feedback that helps you connect module learning to the opportunities and challenges you manage every day.
