Students are all admitted into a coursework-based program allowing them to complete the program in two years. It is anticipated that most students will complete the coursework-based program. Depending on coursework performance and research topic, students can also apply during their studies to follow a traditional thesis-based program in which they have the opportunity to work in-depth on a topic under the supervision of a faculty member. Or they may apply for the innovative major research paper-based program where students work with a faculty supervisor on a shorter piece.
