Course structure:
The Master’s degree programme is designed for a standard period of study of three semesters and 90 ECTS credits. It concludes with the awarding of the academic degree of Master of Science (MSc).
Each semester begins with a project workshop for all students. First-year students learn methods and choose their project topics, while higher-semester students present their project status. Only the project and Master’s thesis are compulsory. Any remaining modules are entirely the students’ choice. The individual academic advisory service will support you in creating suitable combinations, considering your existing knowledge, interests, and career goals.
Lectures, seminars, and practical internships are held during the first two semesters. The third semester is dedicated to the Master’s thesis. A semester abroad is optional but not compulsory.
