The standard period of study for a master study programme is two years or one and a half years. The recommended number of credits is 30 per semester. The required courses in a master’s study programme must correspond to the high level of difficulty and quality of a master’s study programme. The final semester of the recommended study plan contains a master’s degree project, for which 20 credits are awarded. Creative research work in the framework of projects, for which appropriate credit is awarded, forms an integral part of a master’s study programme. Students are recommended to study for at least one semester at another (preferably foreign) university. Particular attention is given to the development of presentation, communication and management skills of students. Master’s study programmes are structured in such a way that at least some courses can be accredited in English language.
