Advanced theoretical courses are offered on relevant scientific topics by members of the Academic Board and/or external (international) experts. These courses are specifically prepared for CDSM and the topics are treated at the PhD-level. Each course has a duration of 24 hours and is concluded with a final examination which has to be passed by the participating students.

Procedure for choosing the theoretical courses

The theoretical course program is defined on a biannual basis (with possible changes and adjustments). Instruction on how to choose the courses and enroll in them are sent each year in December by the CDSM administration.

First year students indicate their choice for the current year and a preliminary choice for the courses to be attended in the second year. The final choice will be made in the second year.
