Courses

Students are required to take 30 ECTS credit points in taught courses at the Ph.D. level, typically taught in the form of research seminars and
adapted dynamically depending on ongoing research and requirements.

Two courses or their equivalent are mandatory, namely

  • 'Ethics and Legal Aspects of Scientific Research' (IMT 6001), and
  • 'Introduction to Information Security' (IMT 6011)

Up to 10 ECTS credit points may be taken at the M.Sc. level; the choice of modules is made and adjusted as part of individual study plans. It should be noted that the modules may be completed at any time provided that a sufficient number of modules has been completed successfully by the time that the dissertation is submitted. Suitable modules from other colleges and universities may also be credited.
