Students can take up till 15 credits for a project in LCT. The project can be considered as the preliminary work to be carried out for the MSc thesis which consists of 30 credits. Both the project and the thesis can be accomplished under the supervision of staff at either FUB, or ITC-irst or CELI, or in co-supervision with staff from the partner university choosen as second university. Possible topics are listed here.
Based on the student CV, the coordinator of the European Master in LCT at FUB might require the student to take a course on General Skills.
If students have already taken any of the courses listed above, they can choose among the courses offered in other Programs at the Free University of Bozen Bolzano. A list of suggested courses can be found here. The selection of these courses must be discussed with the coordinator of the European Master in LCT at FUB.
