Programme structure

The student constructs his programme to include four main coherent sections: core courses (43 credits), a dissertation (and supporting seminar: 17 credits), a focus (30 credits)and two optional courses (2 x 15 credits).

The programme of the first year of the Master is made up of:

• Courses and practical exercises from the core courses (spread out across the year) ;
• the supporting seminar for the dissertation (2nd semester) ;
• one optional course, from the fifteen which are available (2nd semester).

The programme of the 2nd year of the Master is made up of:

• a selected focus, from the eight  focuses available, either at UCL, at KUL or abroad (1st semester) ;
• the dissertation (spread out across the year) ;
• a selected optional course, from the fifteen optional courses available — or optional courses in other focuses— or courses taken abroad at a partner university (Erasmus) (2nd semester).
