Exchange possibilities
The CRCM program admits both international and Nordic applicants, creating an international learning environment. The program will establish close collaboration with academics from international universities that have relevant research and study programs. International guest lectures will be an integral part of the program.
The CRCM is an integrated online master program. There will consequently be no student exchange related to elective courses. However, the program will encourage exchange during the writing of the master thesis on an individual basis during the 3 rd and/or 4 th . semester.
