Study schedule 2024-2025 for year two

The second year offers a broad range of field courses with a diversity in teaching and assessment methods. Students take courses for 27 ECTS from these field courses. Teaching occurs in working groups of usually 5-15 students, which stimulates active student participation.

The final thesis (30 ECTS) is a research project, set up by the student under experts’ supervision.

The TI field courses for 2024-2025 are listed in the Erasmus course catalog.

Note that field courses with fewer than five registered students may be cancelled or turned into a reading group which entails more self-work and study by students.
