3 validation Packages: VP1=CM + Core of PG/HG (30ECTS), VP2=Electives of PG/HG + SC (30ECTS), VP3=MT (60ECTS)
As PG and HG packages offer optional TU, their volume can vary and therefore the Supporting validation package (SP) acts as a buffer to match the total amount of credits fixed to equal or greater than 120 ECTS
Teaching Units (TU) marked as AS I, SS I, AS II, SS II AS/SS* can be offered only once every two years.
