Teaching Methods

A Multimodal Learning Approach

The HERO-HEALTH Joint Master’s Programme adopts a blended and experiential learning model, combining digital education, immersive technologies, and field-based training.

This approach ensures that students not only acquire theoretical knowledge but also develop practical skills required to respond effectively to complex crises.

Core Teaching Methods

Blended Learning

  • Combination of online and face-to-face learning
  • Access to asynchronous educational platforms
  • Interactive digital content

Immersive Technologies

  • Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR)
  • Mixed Reality environments
  • Simulation-based training scenarios

Simulation-Based Learning

Students participate in large-scale disaster simulations, including floods, earthquakes, wildfires, biohazards, mass casualty incidents. These simulations replicate real-world conditions and require interdisciplinary collaboration and decision-making under pressure.

Educational Philosophy

Learning by doing

Interdisciplinary collaboration

Real-world problem solving

Evidence – based decision making
