Elective subjects
Our electives
You will also have the opportunity to choose from many different elective subjects (3-4 h/h) during the year. These are subjects that take place for shorter periods of the year (3-4 weeks), so you have many choices and breadth in subject areas! You can choose to supplement your major, or challenge yourself in new areas.
