The first year includes approximately 500 hours of teaching per year, divided between lectures and tutorials over the two semesters.
There are various ways of assessing knowledge: written and oral exams, continuous assessment, reports writing, etc. In both courses, the teaching staff is composed of academics and contributors from the professional world of administration.
