[new] elective courses from MIETE.

1st Semester | To carry out 6 ECTS, you could choose between:
- Elective from any 2nd Cycle @U.Porto (with some restrictions)

  - [new] Design Thinking (3 ECTS)
  - [new] International Negotiation (3 ECTS)
2nd Semester | To carry out 6 ECTS, you could choose between:

In this new context, we strongly encourage our students to enrol in the above [new] elective courses. Please see more information here.

How to select elective courses outside MIETE:

Electives must be selected from any 2nd Cycle at U.Porto. However, students with background in Humanities (area 02) or Social Sciences (area 05) (see page one of the document in this link), will have to select curricular units belonging to the areas 03 (Natural Sciences), 04 (Physical Sciences) or 06 (Technological Sciences).
We have only 12 ECTS of electives, 6 ECTS in the 1st Semester and 6 ECTS in the 2nd Semester.
Check further information in the document with Ranking Criteria 2016/17 available at this link (PT and EN).
