Master in Computer Science - Program Structure

The Master’s program in Computer Science is structured into several course categories. The minimal number of credits which have to be acquired in a category is stated next to the category name. Several course categories are nested which support a flexible study plan. The difference between the minimal number of credits in a category and the sum of the credit requirements of subcategories can be distributed freely within the category. Credits of a course are always assigned to one subcategory and they cannot be split between subcategories.

Please see the Study Guide (2011) for a detailed description of each course category and constraints on the choice of courses. The focus courses suitable for each Master’s track are listed on the corresponding website.
