+ OPTIONAL DISCIPLINES =
+ FREEDOM OF CHOICE

One of the main characteristics of the Master's program is the wide range of optional subjects. More than 30 subjects are offered each year.

Among the seven optional subjects that must be taken, the student may choose any combination of subjects from the five areas of interest, in order to better meet the objectives of their research and their professional interests. It is strongly encouraged that students take subjects from different areas of interest, with a view to highlighting the interdisciplinary nature of the master's degree.
