Structure and requirements

To complete the IMSQE programme a total of 80 ECTS credits must be earned from elective courses in the course plan. This must include a minimum of 30 ECTS advanced level Master’s courses (courses numbered 6xxx). You can find further details on this in the academic regulations.

Here you can find the IMSQE course descriptions. 

Written Work

In addition to the course work, written work makes up the remaining 40 ECTS credits. Of these 10 ECTS credits must be earned by completing a written assignment, while the final MSc thesis is equivalent to 30 ECTS credits. In the assessment of the final thesis, special emphasis will be put on the student’s analytical, quantitative skills. The thesis may thus be shorter than a regular MSc thesis, but a very high level of independence is required. The student must defend the thesis orally at a public defence where an external examiner will also be present.
