Hercules: the online-based distance learning Masters in Leadership 

(includes one residential module, summer institute of two weeks) 

 

For the Hercules version of our Master of Arts in Leadership programme the learning-mode is based on an asynchronous educational approach. This entails that each programme participant (student) attends his/her own personalised curriculum, and at his/her own pace. The individual programme-flow is therefore not synchronised with that of other participants. 

 

Depending on your professional and learning agendas (personal pace), and on the previous experience and studies, the Hercules Masters programme can be completed in a time-span of 18 to 28 months. The twelve Works include a project paper and a practice-oriented masters thesis requirement. 

 

As outlined on the main page the curriculum is articulated around the following components:   

 

  Individually-adjusted sets of learning documents that are indexed in each of the learning modules ("Works"), and all made available online;

 

  Local and/or "e-distance" (internet and phone) mentoring, coaching, and study-assignments' feedback; plus biweekly or monthly phone calls (see also "We Care for Each Person" on the Hercules Main Page).  

 

  The on-campus part, where one experiences leadership learning in student-team settings, is composed of a special 2-week  summer seminar programme (held in/near Brussels, Belgium). It includes in-classroom lectures by senior faculty, and (outdoors) team workshops. >> Details 

 

For the participants who have a physical, medical and/or travel impairment there is a possibility to attend the entire programme online (no summer residential). In such a case special approval by the Graduate School's directorate is required.
