TIAS Diploma Program

Create your own learning journey

You design your own learning path, tailored to your ambitions and learning goals. By choosing from a variety of masterclasses, the program seamlessly aligns with your professional development. You can complete the program within one year or spread it flexibly over two years – whatever best fits your work-life balance.

The program consists of three components

1. Five masterclasses (3 days per masterclass)
   • The Leadership (profit or non-profit) and Strategic Management (profit or non-profit) masterclasses form the compulsory foundation of the diploma programme, because they provide the essential frameworks to develop yourself as a leader and to give direction to your organisation. You will also need the insights from these modules to successfully complete your final assignment.
   • You then select three electives from over 30 highly rated masterclasses, including profit/non-profit variants where relevant.
   • If your learning goals change during the diploma program, you can easily switch to another masterclass.

2. Personal Leadership
   Choose between one-on-one coaching or the Masterclass Personal Leadership. You work purposefully on self-awareness, behavior, and influence, enabling you to make decisions that are both better informed and more widely supported.
3. Final paper on your own case
   You connect TIAS insights to a current challenge within your organization and deliver a well-founded, practical solution. This includes a one-day Problem Analysis session and interim feedback from TIAS faculty.

“I’ve gained a natural sense of confidence”

"The TIAS Leadership & Management Diploma Program was the ideal combination of high-level depth with a realistic time investment. With two young children and my own business, I didn’t have the time to study every week for a full year. The preparation for each masterclass was very manageable, and during the three days we really dove into the content. I completed six masterclasses and the diploma track. Thanks to the program, I’ve become a stronger discussion partner. I’ve gained a natural sense of confidence because I now have more in-depth professional knowledge."
