Graduates from first-cycle study programmes in other disciplines, totalling 180 ECTS, should address their applications to the IPS Study Commission, which will define the study obligations to be met before the enrolment in the first academic year. These obligations shall be selected from the teaching modules of the first-cycle study programme depending on the dissimilarity of the disciplines concerned, and total between 10 and 60 ECTS. Candidates can fulfil these obligations either during their first-cycle degree studies, through advanced training programmes or by passing the relevant exams before the enrolment in the master’s degree study programme.
Candidates who have completed first-cycle undergraduate study programmes in natural sciences, technical disciplines or computer science, totalling 240 ECTS, may enrol in the second academic year of the second-cycle studies and will be given recognition of 60 ECTS worth of study obligations. On enrolment, compulsory obligations worth up to 20 ECTS will be individually determined so that they can obtain knowledge complementary to their previous studies. These obligations shall be selected from the mandatory course list in the master study programme. The student shall additionally have to acquire 60 ECTS from individual research work, master thesis and other elective courses.
Other candidates that acquired more than 180 ECTS during their undergraduate studies, specialist studies or in some other form of education can address a request to the IPS Study Commission which will discuss each case separately and determine the number of recognized second-cycle study obligations (60 ECTS maximum).
