Back

The MSc Program in "Digital Transformation and Innovation in Tourism" at the University of Piraeus redefines postgraduate education. By combining cutting-edge educational technology (HyFlex) with an agile learning structure organized in intensive cycles (Learning Sprints), it provides the ideal learning environment for executives, working professionals, and students across Greece and abroad.

HyFlex Model

Hybrid-Flexible Learning

The HyFlex (Hybrid-Flexible) model offers complete freedom in how students attend lectures, while preserving the interactivity, collaboration, and academic rigor of the physical classroom.

  • Simultaneous On-Campus & Live Online Teaching: All lectures take place in University classrooms and are simultaneously broadcast live via state-of-the-art platforms (MS Teams / Webex).
  • Equal Participation: Remote participants can ask questions, engage in live discussions, and collaborate in real-time group activities with on-campus peers.
  • Asynchronous Support (Open eClass): Lecture materials, slides, notes, and resources are accessible 24/7 via the central eClass platform.

Learning Sprints

Intensive 2-Week Cycles

Rather than taking multiple courses simultaneously throughout the entire semester, the MSc adopts the structure of Learning Sprints (Intensive Focused Cycles).

  • Single-Course Focus: Each course is fully delivered and completed within a condensed 2-week sprint cycle.
  • Continuous & Applied Assessment: Evaluation is centered on real-world projects, case studies, and practical assignments, eliminating traditional exam stress.
  • Optimal Time Management: Enables students to immerse themselves in one thematic area at a time, enhancing knowledge retention and absorption.
