Forms of teaching and learning
The part-time university certificate programme as a whole is based on a modular structure with a blended learning concept (combination of distance learning and in-person units).
Each module consists of 3 stages:
- Online stage: In this stage, you acquire fundamental technical knowledge on your own using core literature and learning videos. The TU Graz “TeachCenter” learning platform allows you to contact lecturers and other course participants for questions and exchanges. Scope: 1.5 ECTS credit points
- In-person stage: Over the course of 3 days, you and your fellow students will discuss, reflect on, deepen and apply the knowledge acquired online through case study examples (usually there is an in-person block every two to three months, from Thursday 1:00 p.m. to Saturday 4:00 p.m.). Scope: 1.5 ECTS credit points
The in-person courses are also broadcast live online via the TU Graz video platform “Tube.” Students who cannot attend in person for professional reasons can watch the recordings of courses regardless of time and place or follow courses via live stream.
- Transfer stage: This stage takes place individually at your company or a company you have selected. Here you have the opportunity to put your acquired knowledge to the real-life test or to work on the solution of an operational task or question. Scope: 2 ECTS credit points
