Praxisbezug - European Master of Business Administration

Each year is divided into three terms of four months each. Separating each term is a residential week at one of the partner institutions. Each term contains two courses of 7-8 weeks in length, running sequentially (with the exception of the spring block which contains only one course due to a summer break). All new students must attend a four day introductory programme at one of the residential week locations. In the second year they must write an individual master's thesis.
Each full partner of the consortium provides one or two tutors for the Distance Learning courses. The quality and performance of the tutor is monitored by the academic council member of the same partner. The whole daily coordination of the all tutors, academic content and quality is taken care of by the Academic Director, Dr. Stuart Dixon at the Open University of the Netherlands.
