Courses

The degree programme is modular. Each module corresponds to 6 ECTS.
At the beginning, there are parallel basic modules depending on the students' previous education. In the 2nd and 3rd semesters, the theoretical knowledge is deepened in interdisciplinary (technology, economics, law) projects. The interdisciplinary projects are worked on in groups of 4-7 people throughout the semester.
At the end of the programme there is a Master's thesis and a final oral examination.
