Summer term exception: Students are considered full-time if they are registered for at least 6 credits.
The same rules apply to courses taken to fulfil the option’s requirements, and to prerequisite courses.
Option supervisors may require students to take (typically undergraduate) preparatory courses (3 credits) on admission to the program, if they deem that the students’ academic background does not meet the requirements of the chosen option and profile.
It is important to note that these preparatory courses must be passed within one year and that they count toward the average.
The program office may also require students to take prerequisite courses if their academic background is in a discipline other than management. Every 1-credit prerequisite course lasts 45 hours.
Preparatory courses and prerequisites can be taken at the same time as master’s courses. For more information, students should contact their option supervisor.
A 3-credit course involves 45 hours of classroom attendance, including exams, and 90 hours of independent study (readings, studies, exercises, projects, etc.). Unless otherwise noted, all M.Sc. program courses are worth 3 credits.
M.Sc. courses and 3-credit preparatory courses are given as follows, depending on the term:
Note that exams are included in the number of weeks.
You should put your name on the waiting list. That way, you will be registered for the course should enough spots open up.
