 How to Study at EcoS

 Steps to Start your First Semester

In this section you will find useful information and some basic administrative features of “how to study EcoS”. 

1. CHOOSE YOUR CLASSES

The amount of work involved in the EcoS MA amounts to 120 ECTS credits. This corresponds to an expected period of 4 semesters, with the possibility to extend your studies for 2 more regular semesters.

You would typically start with language classes. These are very time-intensive and it is strongly recommended to enrol for only one seminar in the first semester.

2. ENROL FOR YOUR CLASSES

Once you have selected the courses you wish to register for, make sure to keep in mind:

  • Level 1 language courses begin during the winter term of the academic year. The work load is heavy, so it is strongly advised to take only one core seminar (M2 / M3) per semester.
  • The amount of ECTS points recommended per semester is 30 (totalling 4 semesters of study).
