Students can take up to 8 credits outside the SIQ study plan, or up to 12 ECTS if they do not take a specialization. In this case, they need to submit their request to SIQ for approval by completing and submitting this form before the FRAC deadline.
Students can register for the courses in ISA by clicking on “Other subjects.” If the courses are approved, they will then be moved to the Options group a few weeks after the FRAC is closed.
The courses must be relevant to the SIQ curriculum, either by deepening knowledge in a specific area of the curriculum or by complementing it with knowledge from related fields such as management, marketing, supply chain or finance. Basic-level courses or courses that are similar or equivalent to those already offered within the SIQ study plan will not be approved.
In particular SIQ recommends some EPFL doctoral courses.
