The implementation of the EESLMU graduate program is planned in several steps. In 2006/07, all new courses will pass a trial run within the old Diploma program. In 2007/08 the full Master’s and PhD programs will start for new applicants. Remaining diploma students will be integrated into this scheme. By the end of 2009, the first students will receive their Master degree.
