All taught courses must be taken before the MSc final project. Please refer to the EFI Postgraduate Programme Handbook for further information.
The programme compulsory courses and the shared core courses introduce students to skills and concepts that will assist them when studying elective courses and the final project. Therefore, we encourage students to take the two programme compulsory courses, along with the required EFI shared core courses as early as possible .
We would reco mmend that you aim to balance your course credits across the 3 years evenlt. This is to ensure student workload is balanced. However, we appreciate that this may not always be possible (or preferrable) for part-time students.
