The programme consists of the compulsory Research Assignment (code 66753) of 30 credits and a selection of modules applicable to the focus of the study, the credit total of which should be at least 90. You must obtain at least 50% of the total credits at the Faculty of Military Science.

You must select a majority of modules (that are also relevant) from one specialisation field listed below, which may be supplemented with modules from the other specialisation fields, as discussed with your lecturer. The modules in the Military Technology specialisation field can currently only be supplementary to other specialisation fields. In the specialisation field of Physics, you must follow modules at departments of other faculties, for which you must meet the stipulated requirements of the faculty or faculties concerned.
