This course combines the flexibility of online learning with the quality of in-person teaching. Through five interactive online lectures, you will gain insights into agile principles and see practical demonstrations of tools and methods. These sessions are designed to encourage dialogue, questions, and reflection.
The program culminates in a full-day on-campus seminar, where you and your fellow participants will apply what you have learned in team-based simulations and case work. This blended format ensures both convenience and depth: you learn at a distance while still benefiting from the energy, collaboration, and quality feedback that only a physical classroom can provide.
Participants are expected to have basic IT knowledge and familiarity with digital collaboration tools. Admission requires either prior higher education, vocational training, or relevant work experience that provides a foundation for engaging with project-based learning.
