ECTS and choice of subject

Students who started before September 2009 write their thesis for less ECTS. Their thesis is not part of their track and therefore these students are free to pick their subject. Check for the correct number of ECTS the website. If you write the thesis for less then 20.0 ECTS, do mention this to your supervisor!
Language
