The individual preparation phase for a module includes pre-readings, preparation of case studies, preparation of presentations, essays, etc.

Within the specialization courses for the program at LIMAK, a blended learning concept is used: during the individual preparation phase, the focus is placed online literature, virtual knowledge checks and video content for preparation.

The classes use a wide variety of teaching and learning methods. These range from interactive case studies, simulations and calculations to classical presentations, but also include discussions, group dynamic exercises and reflections.
Modules take place in full-day blocks and usually last between 3-5 days.

The individual follow-up phase is intended to consolidate or apply what has been learned in class. Depending on the module, the follow-up phase may include writing assignments, case studies, reflections or exams.
