Curriculum
In the first year of the programme students have to complete 60 ECTS: 12 core courses (48 ECTS), 3 field courses (12 ECTS), and the Introduction to TI research groups (visits to the research departments of the schools).
Mode of education
Depending on their educational background, students decide whether they take the normal or the advanced versions of the courses in mathematics, statistics and econometrics. If a student wishes to take an advanced course, this decision must be explicitly discussed with and approved by the TI DGS.
Research-orientated
Throughout the first year, students join organised visits to the research departments of the partner schools. During these visits, students are introduced to all research groups connected to the program, meet with scholars and learn about the ongoing research projects. In the second year, students have to complete 27 ECTS of specialized coursework, 3 ECTS of academic skills courses and write a Master thesis (30 ECTS).
