Modules Semester 1
Semester 1
The program is organized in modules, of which some are mandatory (P) and others are elective (WP). A certain number of elective courses have to be chosen by the student. The mandatory (P) modules usually consist of two courses, elective modules (WP) are usually single courses to increase the flexibility for course choice.
