Programme structure

How is the teaching organized?

The program is primarily campus-based. Most courses offers digital lectures and remote learning options that provide flexibility. Its intensive structure combines lectures, individual exercises, laboratory work, and supervised, project-based learning. Students following a digital pathway may complete the program through a customized three- or four-year plan and must attend one or two mandatory campus sessions each semester for laboratory activities and examinations.

All teaching is conducted in English.

A two-day refresher course in linear algebra is offered in Week 33.

Assessment includes written and oral examinations, reports, and project presentations. Students develop advanced technological and management skills in an international, research-based environment. Mandatory health, safety, and environment training is required before accessing laboratories, workshops, or fieldwork.
