Programme structure

On this page you can find detailed information about the programme’s content.

Outline

The Master programme is equivalent to two years of full-time studies, out of which the one half consists of courses and the other half consists of a research project carried out at the department. This is your degree project.

The first semester is entirely devoted to coursework, in order to give you a solid foundation of knowledge to use in your degree project. The remaining three semesters are split between working on your degree project and taking courses.
