The doctoral school curriculum consists of compulsory and optional courses.

  • The curriculum is based on the first group of courses, which is compulsory for all doctoral students (4 courses) and the compulsory courses (1 course) related to the sub-programme.
  • The second group of courses is the set of compulsorily elective courses, one per student per semester, and two in the first two years.

The range of compulsory courses may be extended to include courses from other doctoral schools, depending on the doctoral student's individual research topic.

The student may also choose his/her compulsory course from the compulsory courses prescribed for the other sub-programmes.
