During your Studies

Intense Study Days

Surrounded by peers from different parts of the globe and with working experience in different industries, you will have intense months during your studies.

Each of the 10 modules of your studies takes 2 weeks and consists of lectures, labs, and case studies.

At HECTOR School, you will spend a lot of time with your peers during the modules and social events, establishing close connections and motivating each other. Each module is finalized by an exam after which you can again fully focus on your job, apply what you have learned, or use the time for travelling.

 

Our campus is located right in the city center at the entrance of a big park where you can relax or do sports. Of course, there are also plenty of shops and restaurants for every taste. During and in between lectures, we will provide you with yogurts and cereals in the morning, little snacks and fruits during the day, and of course coffee, tea, fruit juices, and water.

Growing Together

Grow together as a team and grow with the challenges. In the international environment, cooperation in interdisciplinary teams is trained as a sideline. Encouraged by social events or get-togethers in each module, you will widen and strengthen your network during e.g. bowling, canoeing, archery, joint dinners, and much more.

Additionally company visits, fireside chats, executive talks will be offered. At the end of your studies, there will be a great final excursion with a one- to two-day visit to a town and several activities.
