Note

Specializations are merely recommended ways of choosing the courses in the curriculum. Applicants are not admitted to a specialization but to the programme and it is possible to choose among all the courses in the curriculum following the directions given. However, if a specialization has been fulfilled the title of the specialization may be added to the diploma.

The specializations and the suggested course plans under this programme are designed for the Autumn (September) intake. Students admitted in the Spring (February) intake may face challenges following the suggested course plan within the prescribed study time.
