Educational plan
This overview can assist prospective IOPS students to draw up their education plan. The requirements for the IOPS certificate can be found here.
The curriculum part of the requirements consists of both mandatory and elective courses. For the elective courses, it is allowed to follow relevant courses outside IOPS. We have a standing collaboration with our German partner SMiP. This collaboration includes mutually opening courses. More information can be found here.
