Students must successfully complete 17 core courses; those who fail a core course are required to retake it. If the failed course is an elective, an alternative elective may be selected instead. To graduate from the program, students may not fail more than two courses throughout their entire period of study, and must achieve a cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) of 2.0 or higher. A minimum attendance rate of 70% is required for all lectures, and failure to meet this requirement will result in a failing grade in the course.
