The program offers six distinct specialization pools, each designed to provide in-depth knowledge in a specific field. Upon enrollment, students must select at least five courses from one chosen pool. There is also a seventh, so-called free-diving track for those wishing to hand-pick their courses based on their personal interests and professional goals.
Students are entitled to enroll in additional courses, which are above the five mandatory courses, chosen either from their own pool or from any other. These extra courses are available for an additional fee of 250 EUR per course. The maximum number of extra courses is three.
This structure allows students to gain expertise in their primary area of interest while also having the flexibility to broaden their academic experience.
