Structure of the masters programs
The master programs should be viewed as an additional qualification. They may immediately follow a suitable first degree, or may only be entered upon following a certain amount of professional experience.
The duration of studies will normally be three semesters. However, depending on the type of first degree and any professional qualifications a student may have, the duration may be from two to four semesters. In any case the duration of studies will encompass the master thesis as an academic final paper. In each case, this period also includes the master thesis, the academic final paper. Each master program has its own character: for example, for a general, practically-orientated degree in business management, the title gained would be a Master of Business Administration, or MBA. An example of a specialised degree, with stronger emphasis on theory and research, would be the Microsystems Engineering Master of Science. A practice-oriented degree, like in the Department of Business Applications of Computer Science, which builds on a previous computer science degree, offers qualification as a Master of Computer Science.
All master programs offer the opportunity for studying abroad. They offer a practically-relevant qualifications with an internationally recognized degree, and open up new, attractive segments of the job market to the graduates. If bachelor and master degrees are studied consecutively, the total duration will be no more than 10 semesters.
