Blended Intensive
Programme (BIP)
“Management and Technology”
We are glad to offer the faculty-led Blended Intensive Program (BIP) “Pedal to Success – A Case Study along the Global Value Chain in Bike Manufacturing” to our partner universities. The BIP includes both a physical activity and a virtual period.
The goal of the program is that students should become more familiar with topics related to Management and Technology.
What should the BIP foster
- development of transnational and transdisciplinary curricula
- innovative ways of learning and teaching
- online collaboration
- research-based learning
BIPs provide an opportunity to reach out to new groups of students, for example those in study fields where mobility opportunities have been limited or those who lack confidence to go abroad alone.
