Research seminar goes weekly; students write a term paper in the 1st year; internship and master’s dissertation are research activities for the 2nd year.

The duration of the Programme is 2 years (4 semesters); each year consists of 60 ECTS and divided into 2 quarters. Each quarter is completed with an examination period. The study load is usually around 20 contact hours per week in the 1st year and 16 hours in the 2nd year, including the Research seminar.
