This is a full-time study programme running for two
years. The first three semesters consist of one large
constituent module and one small alternating module, whereas the
last semester consists of a special subject module (thesis work,
individual thematic focus). The study programme features an
extensive and demanding curriculum, with most of the literature
being written in English. Applicants must have a thorough knowledge
of modern information and communication technology and be able to
make active and independent use of relevant software during the
programme.
The programme involves between 6 and 8 hours of classes each week,
with the rest of the time being set aside for preparation and
independent study. Besides the projects required in connection with
examinations, each semester students are expected to complete one
or two small dissertations or essays on a specific topic which will
be included in the teaching process.
