Academic Program
The academic program is a two year, European Standard, English language, Masters Program (120 ECTS) that combines three semesters of course and laboratory work (90 ECTS) with a six month individual research project (30 ECTS).
The first semester is composed of a common core curriculum of fundamental courses in Informatics. During the second semester, students have an opportunity to choose a selection of introductory courses to different sub-domains. During the third semester, students follow an advanced academic program in one of the five areas of specialization. The fourth semester is devoted to the masters research project, conducted under the direction of an academic supervisor within one of the research teams associated with the program.
