Programme structure

The programme consists of several parts, each comprising distinct courses (in total 60 ECTS). Each part is presented below.

Outline

Autumn semester (September - October)

Compulsory courses

Autumn semester (November – January)

The second period introduces elective courses, where you choose two out of three available courses that run parallel during the second half of the semester.

Spring semester (January – March)

Elective course 1 (7.5 ECTS) and  Elective course 2 (7.5 ECTS). 

(The selection of elective courses may vary between semesters depending on availability. Also, an announced elective course may be cancelled if too few students choose that course, and for some elective courses with high demand a selection will need to be made.]

Spring semester (April – June)

The last study period will focus entirely on the degree project. We expect students to formulate a clear and researchable research question at the beginning of this final period. The topic will be selected from a list of broad themes specified by the available supervisors.
