The curriculum is comprised of three main components. The first is the core, which establishes the necessary common competence level. The second is a specialization, which builds upon the core.
Students choose a number of elective courses to satisfy their chosen specialization.
The third component of the curriculum is the project or thesis. Typically, students devote three semesters of course work to core and specialization work and one semester to either the project or thesis research. The core emphasizes networks and systems as well as business applications. The business applications area includes specially designed courses in economics, management and information systems modeling.
