The MSIN curriculum consists of three main components: the core courses, electives, and project. The core courses establish the
necessary background and a common competence level, and the elective courses build upon the core. Students can choose from
a wide variety of technical and management elective courses according to their interests and career needs. The MSIN program
will be delivered using a hybrid distributed education format with four courses (at least three core) taught from Carnegie Mellon via
videoteleconferencing technologies (VTC) and the remaining courses taught locally at the University of Aveiro by its faculty.
