Distance Learning

Distance courses offered or planned IMD currently uses the internet to support on-campus learning (e.g. for industry analysis projects) and before and between modules in longer programs (e.g. functional fundamentals and project-based activity learning). This is a hybrid approach -- there is always some face-to-face learning activities included.
