Choose Your Learning Pathway
Shape your learning experience around your interests and career goals. You can choose to follow a full specialization, selecting up to 15 credits from one dedicated pathway, or create a more personalized learning experience by combining elective courses from across the available options, up to 15 credits in total.
Our recommendation: For the most cohesive and enriching learning experience, we recommend completing a full specialization, as the courses within each pathway are designed to complement and build on one another.
Please note that course selection is subject to availability and timetable constraints. Additional elective options may be considered if students are unable to obtain approval for a full specialization from their home institution.
