Programmes


The JUAS Course session comprises 2 separate but complementary courses. Each course lasts 5 weeks, 4 weeks including around 60 hours of lectures and tutorials, and the last week being devoted to the preparation and subsequent written test of the examination. The course descriptions contain the list of specific requisits.

In the following programmes, the total number of 50 min. lectures and tutorials on a given topic is indicated. This is subject to modification. Visits and demonstrations, which are not included here, represent an additional 10% to 20%. This year's programmes are built around several core subjects (C). The first part of the afternoons is in general dedicated to private studies while the second part is used for guided studies where the lecturer (or assistant) is on duty to encourage individual requests for help and clarification. Some afternoons are dedicated to demonstrations in the laboratory.

Each subject is covered on a modular basis, as far as possible within a maximum period of one-week to allow for the participation of those who have professional commitments.
