Specialisations are merely recommended ways of choosing courses from the curriculum. Applicants are not admitted to a specialisation but to the programme, and they can choose among all the courses in the curriculum (according to the directions given). However, if the specialisation requirements have been fulfilled, the specialisation title may be added to the diploma.
