Master Thesis (and related lectures and seminars) - The core module Reading and Conferences provides the research skills and methods needed for the project stage of the programme. The third semester is entirely dedicated to a major individual research project which leads to a master thesis. Projects with an industrial involvement and relevance are encouraged. They may be undertaken in the University’s laboratories or in collaboration with industrial partners or other institutions.

Language classes (and practice) as well as the introductory session on Intercultural Competence are aimed at equipping graduates with the linguistic and intercultural skills necessary to make significant contributions in an increasingly multicultural business and research environment.

Management subjects are intended to familiarize students with management techniques commonly used to plan, organize and control projects. There is one core module related to Project Management and one optional module such as Strategic Management or Leadership and Organisation.

Teaching comprises lecture modules, tutorials, and laboratory work. Throughout the first two semesters courses are fully supported by computing and laboratory work. Assessment is based on a mix of formal examinations, course work, various technical assignments and oral presentations. The assessment of the Master Thesis includes an oral examination.
