Official postgraduate studies aim to deepen the student’s knowledge in academic, professional or research training, and are divided into two cycles: the Master’s degree programmes (second cycle) and doctoral programmes (third cycle). Successful completion of these cycles leads to a Master’s degree and doctoral degree, respectively. These programmes may be shared among the faculties, schools and institutes and may be inter-university or mixed with other public or private organisations.
Master’s and doctoral programmes are carried out under the direction and academic responsibility of a faculty or school, a department, a university research institute or a specific organisation set up for this purpose, under the supervision of the Postgraduate Studies Committee.
