Frequently Asked Questions About Our MBA Courses
Each course follows our blended learning approach, offering the benefits of both self-paced and face-to-face phases.
Our management courses are typically divided into three phases:
In the distance-based preparation phase, participants familiarise themselves with the topic by studying materials and completing an assignment under the guidance of the facilitators.
This is followed by a hybrid face-to-face week, where participants engage in five days of discussions, case studies, group work, quizzes and presentations, either on-site at Swiss TPH’s headquarters in Allschwil, Switzerland, or online. Please note that some face-to-face weeks are on-site only due to the high level of social interaction in these courses.
In the self-paced post-phase, participants consolidate their learning outcomes through the development of a final assignment, supported by the course facilitators.
If you are attending a single course, you will receive a certificate of attendance upon successful completion. You can attend multiple courses or progress to the Master of Business Administration (MBA) in International Health Management.
