The entire program will be delivered online. You will be a part of a diverse, global cohort yet with the convenience of studying from your home. Zero travel is required.
Option 2: Blended Learning, 90% online, 10% in person
90% of the program will be delivered online, with 10% (estimated 8 days) of the program being delivered in person at one of our Hyper Island locations across Europe.

What you’ll be doing
This program has 6, 20 credit modules all led by industry experts who guide you through the module content while working on a live client brief. Together with other learners, you’ll experience a range of interactive talks, hands-on workshops, team challenges, and deep reflection. This allows our students the experience of constantly implementing learnings into real-life business scenarios.
