Programme Quality: facts and figures

In line with transparency principles and the university's actions fostering programme and service quality, we wish to provide useful data about the Degree Programme, in particular from the last 3 years.

"Cohort" refers to a student group starting university in a given year and does not include students transferring from another programme or students acquiring a second degree. Specific years or topics might be missing if the programme has not completed a full cycle.
