In the course of the first three semesters, students have to fulfill the follwing minimal requirements:

Take two core modules.
Take four specialization modules. They are grouped into five areas of specialisation and labelled A-E. We recommend taking modules from more than a single area. Furthermore, modules from area F cover sujects announced before the semester.
The supplementary modules cover areas of recent research and are organised in a number of formats (short courses, block courses, guest lectures, schools). They are announced before the semester. During the first year, each students has to take supplementary courses worth in total 9 ECTS points. In addition, during semesters 2 and 3, there is a further obligation to take supplementary courses worth another 12 ECTS points.
The theoreticum in the third semester is a small project for which the student joins one of the research groups.
In the fourth semester, the student is a member of one of the research groups and writes his Master thesis. There is a final exam on the subjects covered in the Master thesis.
