Curricular structure

The taught part is concentrated in the first semester and consists of classroom sessions, outings and studies complemented by scientific meetings. The main element of the non-teaching part will be the completion of a thesis, which will be supported by an internal supervisor and internal or external co-supervisors, according to the student's wishes. It is also intended, as far as possible, to enable the individual thesis project to be integrated into ongoing scientific research projects, or projects to be created.
