MSc Common part


Common Part

This common part is not applicable for specialisation E.
Choose 1 cluster from RO1 - RO3; take into account:
- YMC-60300 is an 'umbrella' code. Instead, choose and register for 3 credits worth of modular skills (MOS) courses. For an overview of possible MOS courses please see under YMC-60300 in the study handbook.
- RO1: If RO1 is selected, choose 1 course from RO1A.
- RO2: If RO2 is selected, choose 1 course from RO2A. NOTE: RO2 can only be selected by those students that meet the professional competencies from YMC-60809 based on prior education and/or professional career, to be decided by the MNH-programme-team.
- RO3: YEI-60312 has specific prerequisites.
RO4: In consultation with the study adviser, students either choose an internship or a second thesis of at least 24 credits from the chairgroups HNE, HAP, TOX, CPT or CBI.
In general students with a professional Bachelor degree should opt for a second thesis. Students with an academic Bachelor degree should opt for an internship.
The FQD internship is linked to specialisation D only.
