Entry module

Entry Module – 19 weeks, 27 ECTS, Year 1

Theoretical advanced training provided by local and invited faculty in the form of formal courses and lectures, will occur during the first 10 weeks of the Interface course. After this period, students will engage into three 3-week consecutive research rotations (one in each of the three Institutions). The rotations will engage the students into active research and laboratory daily life. A key goal of the rotations is to provide a solid ground allowing the students to identify a research area/supervisor(s) for their Thesis work.
