The Master’s program lasts two years and is completed with a Graduation project of 30 credits. Each year is worth 60 credits, with each credit equivalent to 28 hours of study.
The degree program comprises mandatory study components, core electives, special electives, and free electives. Both mandatory study components (2MMR10 Professional Portfolio and 2MMR30 Final Project) are part of a program of examinations, as well as at least four core courses. A program of examinations contains at least 120 study credits, with at least 55 credits worth of core electives and special electives:
