1It was declared by the decision number LXXIX/2019. (V. 27.) of the ELTE's Senate.
The course can be completed only if the thesis would be submitted. The list of the special courses of a specialization can be find below.
These are the recommended semesters in which the students are suggested to fulfil the requirements. If the students follow this recommendation they will be able to finish their studies in the given length of the programme based on the qualification requirements. It is not obligatory but it provides moderate load for the semesters.
According to the time of the compulsory completion of the prerequisites we define two types of them. The strong prerequisites must be completed before registering for the given course (in this case the prerequisite must be completed in the previous semester). The weak prerequisites may be completed in the same semester. Co-registration: the two courses must be enrolled in the same semester.
