How to read this table
  • UE : teaching unit, a group of subjects (fundamental, methodological, discovery, transversal).
  • Lecture · Tutorial · Lab : weekly hours: lectures, tutorials, lab work.
  • Coefficient / Credits : weight of the subject in the average, and credits earned when it is passed (30 per semester).
  • Semester hours (15 weeks) : total supervised hours over the semester (15 weeks × weekly hours).
  • Personal work : "Other": additional personal work by the student, unsupervised.
