The proposed Joint Master uses a hybrid format, with more than 2/3 of activities in person (the first, second, and fourth semester). The online semester will increase the flexibility of the master program, enabling students to not be abroad for two entire years.
The enrolled student has to collect 120 ECTS by:
- Attending all the compulsory courses in person (7 courses - 60 ECTS)
- Attending two compulsory online courses (2 courses – 12 ECTS)
- Attending three elective online courses (3 courses - 18 ECTS)
- Accomplish the internship program (15 ECTS) and the Thesis (15 ECTS).
