SAERA uses a self-paced learning method, i.e., it is not necessary to be online on a determined schedule. This model is extremely flexible, allowing you to study around existing work and family commitments. All of the course materials are available as soon as the course starts, and the student goes through them at their own speed.

Our distance learning model combines teaching through virtual classroom, tutorial support and online self-study.

The students of the Master are connected and in constant communication through discussion forums led by course tutors and the internal messaging of the virtual campus. This will help them solve doubts by exchanging knowledge and acquiring greater skills when it comes to passing each module.

The assessment will be conducted entirely online, and includes several modes of assessment including the following:

• Assignments: Each assignment is different and can include essay assignments, case-based assignments, short questions, etc. Full details are offered within the module itself.
• Multiple choice questions tests
• Short answer questions test

Each assignment that is required for a course is clearly shown on the Virtual Classroom. You must submit your assignment before the end of the month in order for it to be accepted as “on time.”

You can find more information on each of these options by clicking here.

Optional recognition

The students have the option to include in their certificate the recognition of the Hague Apostille. A country that signs the Hague Convention recognises the legal effectiveness of a public document issued in another country that signs the Convention.

If the convention applies between two countries, the Apostille is sufficient to certify a document’s signatures legality, and removes the need for double-certification, by the originating country and then by the receiving country.

The students have the option to include in their certificate the recognition of the Hague Apostille. The price of this service is 90€ (shipping costs not included).

Attention: Certificates issued by Lucentum Universitas cannot be provided with a Hague Apostille.

You can download the Apostille Request Form here
