Master's Program

Compulsory/optional:

• Thesis-track students are required to take seminar (2 credits) and eight graduate-level courses (24 credits). Four out of the eight courses are mandatory and four are elective. The latter can be taken from other faculties (e.g. Civil and Industrial Engineering Faculties). Non-thesis students need to take seminar as well as 10 courses, of which four are mandatory.

Thesis:

• Thesis-track students are required to take 6 credits of MSc thesis.

Examination:

• Students are required to submit the proposals of their thesis research to the faculty’s director of graduate studies (DGS). Proposals will be reviewed by multiple faculty members and feedbacks will be provided to students. Each proposal must be finally approved by the committee appointed by the DGS.
• To complete thesis research each student is required to submit his/her thesis to the faculty and defend the thesis in a formal, open-to-public session. Graduation is conditional on approval of the defense committee.
