Master’s Degrees in Education, Management and IT at AcademyEX
We have started a partnership with AcademyEX, which now gives our students the opportunity to choose from three unique master’s programmes.
All three programmes are research-based. This means that learning is not limited to theoretical and documentation work. Students can develop their own projects — from applications and digital solutions to research initiatives and practical products within their industry.
In addition, having such a project in your CV is a significant advantage for employers, as it highlights the graduate’s practical experience.
In this article, we will provide a detailed overview of each programme.
