Six of the twelve compulsory credits come from the common compulsory courses (one accepted engineering mathematics course plus RSM 503). The remaining six are chosen from the optional compulsory group, together with the thesis supervisor. Up to 50% of the elective credits may be taken from other ITU programmes with the supervisor's approval.
