The Sustainability Management School, located in Gland, Switzerland as well as Milan, Italy, offers on campus and online programs in Sustainability Management, Sustainable Hospitality, Sustainable Fashion, Sustainable Tourism and Finance and Responsible Investment.
However, as it is online and not face-to-face courses, it is important to follow a few vital steps towards successful online studies.
Here are 3 tips on how to be successful during your online studies with SUMAS.
1. STAY ORGANIZED
This tip seems like an obvious one, whether on campus or online. But for online studies, time needs to be managed by the student. At SUMAS, readings and assignments are given on Monday for the week. Therefore, it is important to schedule time to study during the week.
One tip to stay organized, besides scheduling the right times to study, is to check projects deadlines that are distributed at the beginning of every course. Plan some extra time to prepare the projects, or to revise the information before the tests.
Since most of the online students are working professionals, it would be wise to check your work schedule beforehand and be prepared for any business travel and busier times at work.
Thankfully, for students that travel a lot, it is possible to download any SUMAS material needed for the online course. This makes it easier, as no student needs to rely on an internet connection.
