The proposed programme leading to the MSc requires students to complete 10 courses (or 40 units).

• Three required courses (4-units each) (i.e. 2 taskforce courses and a methods course)
• Seven elective courses (4-units each) from the two specialization themes. Four of the seven electives must be from one theme.

The two taskforce courses and the research methods course will ensure that each student meets with their group, supervisor, and external organization throughout the two semesters of the programme. The methods course ensures students take a technical course that provides them with the technical skills to read, analyze, and produce high-level research.
