Course structure

The MSc course is a two-year programme. The first year of study can take place only in three of the five institutions: Copenhagen, Bangor or Dresden. The second year of study is offered at all five SUTROFOR institutions. Students cannot complete first and second year at the same institution.

 

The choice of first year institution is made at the time of application. The final choice of second year institution is made in the late autumn of the first year of study.
