About PREMIUM: Time Investment

  • PREMIUM Time Investment

    PREMIUM is designed to take approximately 250 hours,  between January-May, divided over time spent on project execution, coaching, attending workshops and masterclasses, and attending central events.  Your workload will fluctuate, but on average you may expect to dedicate around 12-15 hours per week to PREMIUM. This includes working on your project, but also attending workshops or the central events.

    PREMIUM is a demanding extracurricular programme. This means that participating in PREMIUM will require you to invest time alongside the time you invest in your master’s programme. Dedication and commitment are required to succeed in PREMIUM. Over the course of the five months of PREMIUM, the total workload is approximately 250 hours. This is roughly broken down into:

    • 150 hours for the project;
    • 60 hours individual and team coaching;
    • 15 hours for workshops and master classes;
    • 25 hours for attending Central Events.

    PREMIUM Time Frame

    PREMIUM will take place from January until the end of May. 

    To be exact, the PREMIUM programme will kick off on January 7th, after which you will start your projects, coaching, and attending workshops up until the closing event on May 28th. The Midterms are scheduled on March 18th and 19th.

    Alongside your master’s programme curriculum, other extracurricular activities, and your personal life, PREMIUM is an excellent time management exercise. Applicants should consciously consider their amount of available time during January-May and their time management skills before applying. We do not want you to underestimate the workload, but also do not let it discourage you. 

    Over 1500 students have gone before you, successfully combining PREMIUM with their regular studies, a side job, thesis writing, board memberships, and a fulfilling personal life.
