MSSU will offer a Joint Study Weeks program in Bangkok (JSWs - Bangkok).
The JSWs - Bangkok will consist of two compulsory modules:

789 811 Advanced Business Research and Methodology
789 812 Seminar in Business Research and Thesis

The JSWs Lucerne and Bangkok are attended collaboratively by both HSLU- W and MSSU
students. During the JSWs in Bangkok, HSLU-W / DBA students will have the first opportunity to
meet directly with their Principal Advisor in order to discuss and further develop the student’s
Research Prospectus.

2.3. Additional Modules offered separately by HSLU-W and MSSU
In addition to the JSWs, students need to attend and complete supplementary modules with a
minimum amount of 15 ECTS (for HSLU-W students) or 9 AC (for MSSU students) in order to
complete the requirements of the DBA programme. HSLU-W and MSSU consult their respective
students separately regarding the appropriate selection of modules, based on the Memorandum of
Agreement between MSSU und HSLU-W. These additional modules are offered separately to
HSLU-W and MSSU students, and may be held in a language rather than English.
