Forms needed for your master studies
All master's students must submit a personal study plan agreement (education plan), which is to be approved by the Program Board.
The education plan is an agreement between you as a student, your supervisor(s), and the program board, and concerns rights and duties in terms of carrying out and completing your study.
The deadline for handing in the education plan is 1 December in your first semester as a master student. Failure to hand in the education plan by the deadline might lead to losing your right to study.
Theoretical curriculum
The theoretical curriculum consists of 60 or 90 ECTS, depending on the length of your master's thesis (30 or 60 ECTS).
You are also able to set up a special curriculum together with your supervisor(s) if the courses you are taking do not cover all of the curriculum you are interested in.
The special curriculum must be documented with a reading list, referring to books/articles (including page numbers).
