Hercules programme: online-supported distance learning

For the Hercules version of our GD+MA curriculum programme the learning-mode is an  asynchronous one, in which the curriculum is completed at one's own pace.  The programme progress is therefore not tied to that of other participants. Many personal advantages can be derived from this individualised approach. 

In terms of the programme length (duration), the proportion of time dedicated to the study (the balance between professional career, personal life, and programme study) , combined with the relevance of professional experience in relation to the areas of study, result in the fact that the GD portion of the programme be completed in a time-span of approximately 16 to 24 months. The subsequent MA complement would require another 3 to 9 months before final completion, and the earning of the masters degree. 

Merging personal development with curriculum coaching

The Works are linked to a personal menu found on the web-folder of the participant. The folder is accessible from one's personal computer connected to the internet, with login possible round the clock (covering all time-zones). The comprehensive personal development 'package' is integrated into the Works.   

E-coaching and mentoring, an important and special feature in the HERCULES programme approach, is provided by phone and email. Phone-conferences take place every three to four weeks on average, and   taking into account almost all locations (time-zones) in the world. At the same time feedback is provided for each of the graded study assessments (examinations). 

On-campus (residence) component 

The on-campus component, a single one, consisting of a two week residential summer-session, generally takes place in the first two weeks of July. The Summer institute welcomes twelve to sixteen international participants of our online-based GD+MA and PGD+PhD programmes. The summer institute includes in-classroom lectures, team-workshops, and ample opportunities for interaction and experiential exchange between participants from around the world. 

For participants who have a specific physical, medical, travel, or other requirement or impairment, the possibility exists to attend the entire programme online (no summer residence). In such exceptional case a special approval of the  School's Directorate is required, on the basis of information exchanged at the programme admission stage (i.e. before the start of the GD+MA curriculum).
