Check with your tutor, which are the prerequisite courses in your case. This applies to all students, independent of the language. If you move from another university, it is probable that you need certain courses before the compulsory basic MSc courses on this subprogramme. However, those can in most cases be included to your degree as selective courses. Alternatively, they are considered to be part of your supplementary studies.

Plan for your own study profile, either by following one of the existing ones or proposing your own. Get approval though your tutor before implementing the plan. All students are encouraged to include to their degrees courses from other subprogrammes, and even other subjects, to ensure sufficient width of the degree.

Students starting their studies in Fall 2012 or Fall 2013 must follow the 2012 requirements. Older students can change to these requirements, if they wish.
