Selecting courses

• The study plan includes both mandatory and elective courses. Mandatory courses lay the foundation for the more specialised elective courses. It is therefore recommended to take as many mandatory courses as possible each semester and complete the remaining credits with electives.
• Students must register for and pass at least three mandatory courses during the first semester of their studies in the first attempt to be admitted to the next semester.
