The courses begin every year on the first Monday of October, are taught in the afternoon and the duration of the studies is 24 months divided into 5 periods (2 Winter, 2 Spring and 1 Summer). During this time each student has to successfully complete 10 subjects, attend a series of seminars and visits to business and organisations and complete the Postgraduate Dissertation.
During the first year of study, students are taught 6 compulsory courses (3 in each period), while in the second year they are taught the four optional courses (2 in each period).
Optional courses are selected from the list of optional courses of each period. Each of the course lasts 12 weeks followed by 2 weeks of examinations.
At the end of these two periods (end of May), begins the period for the writing of the Postgraduate Dissertation, which is required for the completion of the postgraduate diploma. This period expires on the last day of September of the same year.
