Some information on the operation of the APNOR Master’s Degrees

• The first semester is normally taught at each one of the APNOR Higher Education Institutions, except if one of them does not have enough students, in which case they may be invited to go to a different institution.
• The second semester is organised in staggered modules. The teaching staff for each module travel to the different polytechnics. There may also be joint sessions for all the students from the different polytechnics in a single place, to be designated, when there is participation by senior specialists, particularly from abroad.
• The third semester is for thesis development.
• The classes will preferably be taught in “blocks” towards the weekend.
