- a Master’s postgraduate degree course
- a 10-month jointly tutored and jointly supervised component as part of PhD course,
preferably during the 2nd or 3rd year.

- engineering sciences at Master level, sciences in a broader sense for PhD level (engineering
sciences, exact sciences such as mathematics, physics, chemistry and life sciences, nano- and

and technology)
- economics and management
- law and political sciences
