A list of mandatory courses serves to meet the final qualifications of all future graduates, irrespective of specialization in one or more domains. A limited list of elective courses serves to allow for in depth study of one or more domains, and provides flexibility towards the job market. The topic of the Master thesis may require an appropriate selection of elective courses.

This program starts in November of every academic year and is offered yearly. Teaching and examinations are given in English; except for one or two courses. It is thus essential that students have a good knowledge of English. Courses are offered during all months, with a typical duration of about two weeks for a 5 ECTS course (45 hours) and one week for a 3 ECTS course (25 hours). Most courses consist of primarily lecturers, and some also of practical assignments (computer work), field work, group discussions and presentations. Most exams are written and a few are oral exams or reports with presentations. Examinations are taken in June and October. Some courses have only one exam option per year. September is the period of registration of students and holiday. During the year, excursions (inland and coastal area) are organized for different courses.
