Curriculum

Introduction

  The curriculum is composed of class learning and of research activity in the group of your supervisor, namely in the research group in which you have been accepted.

  In the Master's program, the minimum requirement over two years is 12 credits from classes and “topical seminars” (see table below) and 18 credits from "semestral seminars", which you obtain by carrying out your research activities in your group.

  In the PhD program, the minimum requirement over three years is 2 credits from “topical seminars" (see below) and 9 credits from carrying out research activities in your group.
