The courses of the first semester were created for the STRAINS programme. They were designed as a common basis, to give our students the necessary skills to follow the courses of the next semesters in all institutions. All of our students attend the courses of the first semester in Lille, France.
Most of the courses of the next semesters are courses already offered to the local students of each institution. They were selected for their relevance to the mobility tracks of STRAINS and were made available to the students of our programme.
