The Program

Designed to be completed within three semesters. The first two semesters consist of two types of courses: first, required fundamental courses; second, elective courses to reflect specialization, some of which can be chosen from the program itself or any other part of the university.

The language in the lectures and assignments is 50% in English. In the third semester, the thesis is completed under supervision. The thesis can be a theoretical or praxis-oriented one.

For more elective modules see a comprehensive list of courses in English
