Curriculum

Master courses of the Department of Information and Computing Sciences are listed at www.cs.uu.nl/education, along with useful general information, schedules and access to course-specific information.

Courses of all university bachelor and master programmes can be found with the OSIRIS course catalogue.

Take three courses chosen from a list of five that is specific to your track:

• Track Algorithm design and analysis

• Track Programming technology

• Track Operations Research

• Track Algorithmic data analysis

Take four courses in the categories below:

• The fourth or fifth course in your track
• Any course from another track in the Computing Science programme
• Any course from the Game and Media Technology primary electives
• Any course from the Agents track in the Artificial Intelligence programme
• Mastermath courses: Continuous Optimization, Queueing theory, Parallel Algorithms (with the Operations Research track)
• Any individual Experimentation project, or Capita Selecta
• A course from another programme in the Faculty of Science (at most one, upon approval)
• A course from another programme in Utrecht University (at most one more, upon approval)
• Deficiency courses: courses from the bachelor's programme (in Dutch) which may be needed if you have non-standard background knowledge (at most two, upon approval)

We organize a weekly colloquium in which staff members, guests and students give presentations on computing science topics. The colloquium is a mandatory part of your programme, and it is also a good opportunity to learn about the research done by others, and computing science in general. It also gives you inspiration for your own (thesis) project. To obtain its 4 EC, it is mandatory to attend at least 25 colloquium sessions and to give one presentation yourself.
