No Fixed Login Times or Mandatory Live Attendance

Life doesn’t always fit neatly into a timetable. That’s why this MSc does not require online presence at specific times and dates. You decide when to engage with lectures, readings, and assignments—whether that’s early morning in Vienna, late evening in Salzburg, or any moment in between.

This flexibility helps you maintain momentum in your career and personal life. Instead of rearranging your day around lectures, you can design a study rhythm that keeps you consistently moving forward—without sacrificing your commitments or performance.
