Curriculum Structure

The curriculum structure provides the following:

 

  • Foundation Knowledge: The foundation provides a set of courses that all graduates have to pass.  The foundation is intended to provide common knowledge that all graduates, regardless of their concentration and anticipated future role, should possess.  The courses selected are offered in the first year of graduate study to enable the student to get the familiarity level specified in Bloom’s Taxonomy.  Two elective courses are offered during the first year in order to allow the student flexibility in mastering further productive competences in management and foreign languages.

 

  • Concentration knowledge: The programme offers the flexibility for students to master a specific area of specialization.

 

  • Thesis/Capstone experience: This component introduces the student to two obligatory subjects:  research methods and thesis/capstone project in the fourth semester. The component is intended to provide the student the opportunity to select a preferred mode of research and liaison with industry in the area of concentration
