Postgraduate students are required to attend all courses in all semesters. The teaching of the courses consists of the in-depth presentation of specific topics of the field of knowledge, either through development by the lecturers, or in the form of interactive discussion, or in the form of practical exercises, or through the preparation of assignments, or through the development of a research project, or through educational visits, and/or through any other method or way that may, in the judgement of the lecturers, best contribute to the acquisition of scientific knowledge and assist students in their learning.
