From October to December, our master students participate in a series of introductory methods courses in small groups. In these courses you learn fundamental techniques applied in current research and meet members of the participating research groups.
Most methods courses start with an introductory lecture for all students before the class is divided into small groups circulating in parallel one-day practical courses.
Additionally, you practice programming in R and Python in courses accompanying the curriculum for several weeks with time to discuss the exercises.
