Program Format
The TCLoc master’s program consists of online seminars, materials, and tasks provided entirely in English by our instructors on Moodle, a distance-learning platform. The courses take the form of guided work with video files or written instructions and assignments to be uploaded on the platform. TCLoc instructors also host real-time conferences regularly, allowing students to share and discuss any questions or ideas they may have. These conferences are always recorded and made available to students who could not attend them.
In addition, there are two, non-mandatory on-campus meetings in Strasbourg scheduled over the course of the academic year. These meetings contribute to the dynamic and collaborative spirit of the program and give students the opportunity to meet other members of the TCLoc community.
TCLoc is designed to be a flexible program adapted for working professionals, so we offer two different study options to suit a variety of schedules.
TCLoc’s Flexible Program Options
Accelerated Option — 12 months (October intake)
This is the most intense study option. During these 12 months, you will complete all the program’s coursework, including writing a short master thesis.
Extended Option — 24 months (October intake)
With this option, you have 24 months to complete the aforementioned coursework. If you aren’t able to dedicate much time to the program then it might be the best choice for you.
