A distinctive curriculum

The master's degree program offers three options: (a) a research-oriented course dealing mainly with advanced research; (b) a standard course; and (c) a lecture-oriented course designed primarily to impart new specialized knowledge. Students can choose any one of the three courses once they have fulfilled a certain credit requirement defined in each course as explained below. Additional courses can be taken even when the credit requirements have been fulfilled.
