Selecting courses
There are two different specializations. Neither of them have mandatory courses, and you may combine courses from both.
Requirements for course selection
There are different requirements of core courses for short and long master's thesis. Core courses are the most fundamental and specialized courses for your programme:
- For the long thesis (60 ECT), you must choose a minimum of 30 ECT core courses.
- For the short thesis (30 ECT), you must choose a minimum of 45 ECT core courses. You write the master's thesis in your final semester.
During the first semester, it is advisable to take core courses to ensure that you meet the minimum requirements. Once you have a supervisor, you choose the remaining master's courses together based on your academic interests and the topic of the thesis.
