All students spend the first semester of the first year of the master in UCLouvain (30 ECTS).
In their mobility schemes, students should spend a teaching semester in at least two different partners universities. Therefore they will spend their second semester (30 ECTS) and their third semester (30 ECTS) in one of the partners universities choosen between UCLouvain, Unipi and HU Berlin. Students can also spend one semester abroad at one of the other Circle U. Universities (non-partner institutions), provided that specific agreements within the Circle U. alliance have been reached, or through Erasmus exchange opportunities among Circle U. universities.
The last semester is dedicated to writing the master thesis. To write their master thesis, students must choose one of the different partner universities where they have already spent at least one semester during the master programme.
For a programme-type, and regardless of the focus, options/or elective courses selected, this master will carry a minimum of 120 credits divided over two annual units, corresponding to 60 credits each.
