Our concept

Our English-taught and American-inspired flexible study programs allow students to customize their studies by choosing courses based on program requirements, previous studies, current interests and future ambitions.

Flexible study programs

Our modular course design and program structure provides students with multiple options to plan their studies and lets students direct their own learning efforts, which strengthens their sense of ownership in the educational process.

The multiple starting dates in our quarter and term-based academic calendar allow students to start their education in the fall, winter, spring or summer of each academic year. Students can join our rolling cohorts up to 8 times per year.

Multiple starting dates

Our year-round course planning provides students a continuous educational experience with a near-seamless transition from their previous studies, as well as a smooth transition to a professional career upon graduation.
