Recommended Study Plan
The recommended study plan ensures that students earn 120 credits at the end of the program (92 credits in compulsory CDSn40XX courses and 28 credits in optional courses – of these up to 8 credits may be gained for non-CDSn41XX or non-POLn41XX /non-POLn61XX /non-BSSn41XX courses). In each of the first three semesters, students should take four compulsory courses (specified in the table below) and two optional courses. In the fourth semester, students are advised to register for the Thesis Writing Seminar and focus on completing their Master’s thesis.
