Weekend Workshops
Thanks to our long-standing e-learning expertise in teaching professionals, we offer the perfect combination of online study phases and presence workshops.
The course material (course text, course forum, videos, quizzes...) is available online on our e-learning platform, which enables the students to organise their studies in accordance with their own private schedule. For each course, students receive study guidance from the professors in the form of questions to be answered in the course forum and online evening sessions in addition to the course script. Students also research on their own assignment for each course and sit one examination before the presence workshops. Forum contribution, assignment and examination are graded.
The eight weekend workshops take place in different European cities like Barcelona, Berlin, Brussels, Budapest, Nice, Rome and Vienna.
The workshops launch and wrap up each course with group exercises and examinations. Furthermore, students have the opportunity to meet representatives of European institutions, national decision makers in charge of European and international matters and experts from the public and private sectors. The weekend workshops are an essential part of the study programme as they enable students and experts to meet each other in person. Students organise their travels by themselves. If necessary, CIFE can support with an official visa invitation letter.
