About the Program

The Programme comprises a set of core courses taught during the first and second semesters. This is followed by a minor project to be completed during the summer through internship. A set of advanced courses and elective courses, taught in the third semester allows students to gain in-depth knowledge in this field and specialize in a theme of interest. In the third semester, student is also required to take up an independent study. It encourages students to conduct independent research to get the feel of real-time research project experience. In the final semester, the student must carry out a semester long research project preferably in a company or organization outside the University to gain exposure to professional experience to real-life situations.
