The program culminates in a substantial thesis and structured research activities, enabling candidates to contribute original insight to the discipline.
With a standard duration of 12+ months and a flexible study structure, participants may extend their study period according to their professional and research commitments. The workload is equivalent to 60 ECTS, ensuring alignment with European higher education standards.
