Third level

The master's programme is oriented towards research. It includes an introduction to research and the development of the candidate's ability to carry out original research in the field of a specific scientific discipline, and the study of subjects designed to deepen and broaden the knowledge necessary for the preparation and writing of a master's thesis.

Students' knowledge is assessed by means of practical exercises and seminar papers, and also via products, projects, performances, services, etc. and by examinations. Examination performance is scored as follows: 10 (excellent); 9 (very good: above-average knowledge but with some mistakes); 8 (very good: solid results); 7 (good); 6 (adequate: knowledge satisfies minimum criteria); 5–1 (inadequate). In order to pass an examination, a candidate must achieve a grade between adequate (6) and excellent (10).

In order to enrol in the second year, candidates must successfully pass examinations from three selected core subjects and complete 30 hours of individual research.
