You can choose from among all of the second-cycle courses within the MA programme, in consultation with the coordinator, within or outside your own specialisation. All these courses have separate admission requirements which you must fulfil. You will find the admission requirements in the syllabi. Please consult the study advisor if you have any questions.

Please refer to the pages for each subject for all courses (under Master level courses). There you will find information on which courses are given.
