Course Structure Diagram with Credits

In addition to the compulsory courses of the programme, students register to elective courses appropriate for their thesis topic, on the consent of their supervisor. If necessary, on the consent of their supervisor, they can also register to courses from other programmes (from DEU or other universities). It is obligatory to register MAT5101 Applied Mathematics (3 0 0) or MAT5151 Methods of Applied Mathematics (3 0 0) with the approval of the supervisor. The registration must be noticed to the Institute during course registration period by the supervisor.
