Each module requires four weeks of preparatory work by means of the online campus. This is followed by three consecutive days of interactive meetings and lectures. Additionally, you complete the two units Business Research Methods I + II.
You conclude the part-time MMCM Master’s program with a Master’s thesis concerning a relevant, current issue within your organization. The course load for this part-time MMCM Master’s program is 12-15 hours a week excluding lecture days.
Business Research Methods
Business Research Methods (BRM) is part of your Master's degree. This module will help you make better decisions in situations where a solution to a problem is not immediately obvious because you are missing some of the information.
For students doing an entire Master's program at TIAS, both BRM modules are mandatory. We recommend doing BRM I at the start of your Master's and BRM II at the end, just before graduation. Talk to your Program Adviser about the best time to schedule BRM I into your personal learning path.
