Elements of the Joint Programme

Begin of page section: Contents:

A Joint Programme is offered jointly by several higher education institutions. You can choose one of the degree-awarding universities as your entrance university where you will be enrolled and a mobility university for your specialisation according to your academic background. You must complete at least one semester at your mobility university. This allows you to highly specify on different modules and specialisation tracks that are of interest to you.

Students of the Master’s programme usually attend the module "Basics in Sustainable Development" (30 ECTS) in the first semester and the "Integration Module" (30 ECTS) in the third semester at their entrance university (the university where you enroll). The courses in these modules aim to put disciplinary insights and approaches into the right context while learning to work in teams on assigned projects.

Each specialisation track of the programme (second semester, 30 ECTS) includes a specific number of courses that provide you with theoretical depth and a solid foundation in research methodology, techniques and skills. Elective courses further deepen this knowledge.

The independent final research Master's thesis comprises 30 ECTS credits. A research internship can be part of this final thesis (after consultation with the academic coordinator and/or supervisor).

Detailed information on the modules and specialisation tracks can be found in the section “Modules & Tracks".
