Structure

Students of the master's degree programme must take a total of 120 ECTS credits over two academic years.

In the second year of the master's degree programme, students must do their master's degree final project. During the second year, pupils may participate in an educational exchange at an Asian university. These credits will be recognized as programme subjects, whether within the framework of an exchange programme arranged by the University or through a scholarship or the student's own arrangements.

Throughout the master's degree programme, students may likewise complete internships at companies, institutions or organizations.
