Study programme 2015-2016

Teaching and training



 The Master’s degree programme consists of:
-a core curriculum (30 credits) including the graduation project (28 credits)
-a final specialisation (30 credits);
-one or more majors;
-elective courses to round out the programme.

The graduation project is normally completed during the 2nd year. However, students may (depending on their project) take these courses in the 1st or 2nd year as long as they have completed the course prerequisites. This is particularly the case for students who completed part of their education abroad

If during the student’s previous studies, he or she has already taken a course that is part of the programme (either required or elective) or they have participated in an academic activity that is approved by the programme commission, the student may count this activity toward their graduation requirements (but only if they respect programme rules). The student will also verify that he/she has obtained the minimum number of credits requested for the approval of their diploma as well as for the approval of their major (in order to include their academic distinctions in the diploma supplement).
These types of programmes will be submitted for approval by the relevant Master’s degree programme commission.


For a programme-type, and regardless of the focus, options/or elective courses selected, this master will carry a minimum of 120 credits divided over two annual units, corresponding to 60 credits each.
