The special feature of this programme is that the courses are relatively small and close supervision of the students is ensured. In addition, this programme has a very international focus and our students come from all over the world. The diversity of students and lecturers provides students an environment conducive to learning.

Our study programme is part of the Erasmus exchange programme. The programme has exchange agreements with the following universities: Universitat Autònoma di Barcelona (Spain), University of Bucharest (Romania), Université de Fribourg (Switzerland), University of Copenhagen (Denmark), University of Lucerne (Switzerland), University of Umeå (Sweden), University of Vienna (Austria), University of Breslau (Poland).
