It is also advisable to contact the department's teaching office to clarify any doubts about attendance, lesson calendar, assessment methods and organisation of the final exam. Those who work should carefully assess the commitment required, in terms of weekly hours and attendance, to understand whether the programme is compatible with other professional or personal commitments. It may also be useful to ask whether information sessions or orientation days are held, in which lecturers present the course and answer candidates' questions. Finally, it is advisable to check the application deadlines and the documents to attach, because enrolment deadlines may be short and vary from one academic year to the next.
