Programme selection →What you study
In the first semester, students deepen their knowledge in selected areas of their chosen specialization. The modules of the second semester build on the content of the first semester. The third semester is intended for the Master’s thesis, a research seminar and the final oral examination. Students who have gained less than 210 ECTS in their first degree must acquire the missing credits by completing an internship. This extends the regular period of study from three to four semesters.
