Frequently asked questions

The most important answers before you decide.

For professionals, project leads, entrepreneurs, decision-makers, and anyone with career ambition who wants to do more than experiment with AI — and use it deliberately for their next professional step.

Plan for around four hours a week: short learning units, practical assignments, and live sessions.

The program combines digital learning units with live sessions and in-person moments as part of the overall learning journey.

Through written assignments and a final pitch. On successful completion, you receive the university certificate.

Depending on your individual situation, funding options may be available. We clarify this together in the strategy call.

Throughout the program, you apply what you learn to real cases — including your own practical project from your company. This case work is assessed through written assignments and a final pitch, which together form the basis of your university certificate exam.

The program fee is €4,900, net, and includes all learning materials for the full 12-week program.

The international cohort is taught entirely in English — live sessions, learning materials, and case work.
