Curriculum

The full-time study MSc programme comprises three six-month-terms, each of which lasts 13 full weeks, constituting a workload equal to 30 ECTS credits, allocated to both lecture-based classes and the preparation (researching and writing) of the student’s dissertation.

In the course of the first as well as the second term, the student is required to attend four out of the five available courses, each of which corresponds to 7.5 ECTS credits. During the third term the student is required to prepare and defend his/her dissertation (30 ECTS).

Courses entail the preparation and presentation of written assignments which constitute a significant component of the student’s assessment. The final assessment itself conforms to the dictates of the MSc Regulations Advisory Committee and it results in the form of a weighted average grade which is calculated upon the student’s overall performance in both the final written exam and the quality of the written assignments.
