During the Online MSc Marketing and Data Intelligence learners do not have to write a thesis.

Instead, throughout the master programme, learners work towards mastering a set out Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs). As they progress, they build an ILO scoreboard that shows their achievements for each ILO at the programme level. To graduate, learners must meet all the ILOs.

As ILOs represent the final learning goals, more weight is given to results from modules in the second year of the programme.

The digital ILO scoreboard:

  • Provides learners with feedback during their studies, complementing the learner’s self-reflection assignments.
  • Enables learners to monitor their progress through both their grades for each of the modules and the reported degree of mastery of each ILO.
  • Helps to track whether learners are meeting all the ILOs throughout the programme, based on the course assessments.
