Monarch Switzerland · The Monarch Study Model
Academic Study.
Professional Life.
Your career does not have to pause for your academic ambitions.
For nearly two decades, Monarch has offered primarily online, asynchronous programmes and courses for working professionals. Complete your programme 100% online, with access to study materials 24/7 from anywhere, while remaining engaged in your career and personal life.
Study organised around professional life
No fixed timetable
or scheduled lectures.
Asynchronous means that your study does not depend on everyone being available at the same time.
There are no scheduled lectures, required group assignments or cohort-paced progression. You organise your study around your professional and personal commitments, within your programme’s requirements.
Your progress is not tied to another participant’s availability.
Why Monarch uses this model
Designed for established careers.
And the ambitions beyond them.
Working professionals bring experience, responsibilities and established careers to their studies. They need an approach that recognises those realities.
Continue your career
Pursue academic and professional development without stepping away from your working life or relocating.
Make room for reflection
Engage with ideas, reflect on your experience and develop your work through sustained independent study.
Take ownership of progress
Organise your study around your commitments while meeting the requirements of your chosen programme.
Flexibility concerns how you organise your studies—not the seriousness of the work.
The Monarch Digital Campus
Online access.
Academic resources.
Professional connection.
The Monarch Digital Campus brings together resources and services that support your independent study, keeping you connected to Monarch wherever you are.
Documents, research resources, library access and digital services provide a practical foundation for your academic work.
Independent study. A professional community.
Your study is independent.
Your community is international.
Join like-minded, career-focused professionals who share your commitment to academic achievement and professional progress.
Faculty engagement, guidance and assessment take the forms appropriate to your chosen programme. You retain responsibility for your progress while belonging to a wider academic and professional community.
Monarch workshops
Independent study.
Shared momentum.
In-person workshops are available to complement study.
Workshops bring candidates and faculty together to exchange ideas, discuss work in progress and build lasting professional relationships. They offer an opportunity to reconnect with the Monarch community, gain fresh perspectives and advance your programme through focused discussion and feedback.
Workshops provide a valuable opportunity for academic engagement, professional networking and renewed momentum in your studies.
