Please note: the final course timetable will be available around October 2025.
The program is designed for part-time attendance, making it ideal for professionals who wish to combine their studies with work or other commitments through a flexible and accessible schedule.
The blended delivery mode combines face-to-face sessions with online learning components. This hybrid structure allows participants to engage in on-campus activities during two intensive residential weeks in Milan, while benefiting from digital lectures, collaborative group work, and asynchronous learning throughout the rest of the program. It offers both flexibility and continuity, ensuring a dynamic and engaging learning experience.
REMOTE AND FLEXIBLE LEARNING OPTIONS
Participants who are unable to attend in-person sessions in Milan can join live online (synchronous) classes, enabling real-time interaction with faculty and peers.
For those who cannot participate at the scheduled times due to time zone constraints or other commitments, recordings of the sessions will be made available, ensuring full access to all course content.
MODULE ACCESS FOR EXTERNAL PARTICIPANTS
Selected external participants affiliated with partner organizations of the AI-Driven Business Models Master or the AI Business Transformation Hub may be granted access to individual modules. A certificate of attendance will be issued upon completion.
