No fixed class times—learn on your schedule

Your life doesn’t follow a lecture timetable, and your studies shouldn’t have to either. There are no requirements to be online at specific times and dates. Engage with lectures, discussions, and assessments when it suits you—early mornings, late evenings, or lunch breaks between meetings.

Asynchronous learning empowers you to balance work, family, and study, while avoiding time-zone constraints and schedule conflicts. You remain in control of your calendar, every step of the way.

Study anywhere—even on the move with offline access

Whether you’re at home in Vienna, between appointments in the Innere Stadt, or exploring Europe on business, your classroom travels with you. Our digital campus is accessible on desktop, tablet, and mobile, so your studies can fit around your life—not the other way around.

Through our mobile app, you can keep learning even without a connection. You can study from anywhere in the world, even while on the move or while travelling through our mobile app which allows you to download the study material and watch the lectures offline. Commute on the U-Bahn, catch up on a flight, or review materials in a café: your progress stays uninterrupted.

Open-book assessments that mirror real leadership

We favour open-book assessments over classical question-and-answer exams. This model mirrors the real world, where effective leaders draw on evidence, frameworks, and collaboration to solve complex problems rather than memorise definitions.

Expect to analyse cases, justify decisions with credible sources, and translate theory into practical strategies that you can apply immediately in your professional context. It’s assessment that respects your experience and builds the skills leaders actually use.

Guided by faculty from world-renowned universities

Learn from an international faculty whose academic roots include Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, University of Basel, and Washington University in St. Louis. Beyond prestigious degrees, they bring hands-on leadership and research experience across education, policy, and industry.

That breadth translates into mentorship, feedback, and insight that help you see around corners and accelerate your growth. You’ll be challenged, supported, and inspired by educators who have walked the path and lead with credibility.

A diverse, global community with real-world reach

Join a network of peers from over 130 countries, exchanging perspectives that sharpen your cross-cultural leadership. Collaborate on projects, expand your worldview, and build relationships that extend far beyond graduation—a living, global classroom that enriches every discussion.
