Throughout the academic year, the teaching process includes ten three-hour lectures, amounting to thirty hours of instruction per course as follows:
- At the start of the first semester, students will congregate for one week to attend face- to-face classes on the island of Chios, Greece.
- Subsequently, teaching will take place through distance learning methods, comprising both synchronous (mainly virtual classes that will also be recorded and uploaded on the Moodle learning platform) and asynchronous (primarily educational material uploaded on Moodle).
This blended delivery of MATBA enables professionals to integrate their daily work duties with their studies seamlessly.
Physical and virtual classes are delivered as lectures, seminars, and/or workshops, and may also include preparatory research, teaching, and other educational activities. The learning approach incorporates various communication methods between tutors and students (such as teaching material, assignment posting and assessment, images, blackboard tools, etc.), encouraging active student participation in the educational process (including synchronous discussions, use of cameras by all participants, and the formation of collaborative groups), as well as promoting critical thinking, collaboration, and flexibility among all involved in the educational journey.
