Full-time or flexible?

The master's degree in Disaster Management can be taken either as a one year full-time programme or as a flexible study. The flexible way of doing it, makes it possible for you to spread out the courses over a maximum of 3 years. However due to the dynamics of the group work the individual courses cannot be taken part-time. Your studies can therefore only be split up in chunks consisting of single courses of 2-8 weeks duration each.
