Structure

The program consists of modules. A module covers a certain topic using different teaching methods such as lectures, tutorials, practicals, projects and seminars. A module’s mean workload is given in credit points. A credit point is defined in agreement with the European Transfer and Accumulation System - ECTS, i.e. 30 hours of student invested time correspond to 1 credit point. The Master Program covers 120 credit points in total, i.e. two years divided in four terms. Each of the four semesters covers 30 credit points, i.e. 900 working hours. Each module is followed by an exam.
