All About EMCL

§4 Form of Study and Conferral of Degrees

All students in EMCL study at TUD in their first semester and at FUB in their second semester. In their second year they select a university out of FUB, TUD, UNL and TUW. In addition, students may select NICTA for their project work. Students are jointly monitored by tutors, one from each of their host universities.

Each student has to develop a plan of studies in agreement with the integrated curriculum together with his/her tutors.

The master thesis is normally submitted to and defended at the host university in the second year, and it must be defended in front of a joint jury. The master thesis may be jointly supervised, and it can be submitted to and defended at the coordinating university.

Students will receive a joint master of science degree from the group of their host universities. In the context of the program, the EMCL joint master degree is equivalent to the Austrian and German degree ``Master of Science'', the Italian degree ``Laurea magistrale in Informatica'' and the Portuguese degree ``Mestre em Lógica Computacional''.
