Puntenlijst / Transcript of records
The standard track in the Master of Science in Applied Sciences and Engineering: Applied Computer Science (120 ECTS) consists out of 4 modules:
- Compulsory Core Courses (61 ECTS)
- 21 ECTS from the module 'Smart Cities', the module 'Digital Health' or the module 'Digital Earth'
- 14 ECTS of elective courses from one or a combination of the following modules
Recommended elective courses (3-14 ECTS)
Option Entrepreneurship (0-12 ECTS)
Option Internship (0-6 ECTS)
- Master Thesis Applied Computer Science (24 ECTS)
Each of the modules should be successfully completed to obtain the master degree. The student should respect the specified registration requirements. The Curriculum Board strongly suggests the student to follow the standard learning track. Only this model track can guarantee a time schedule without overlaps of the compulsory course units. The Curriculum Board also strongly recommends to start with the introductory courses and to follow afterwards the advanced and specialised courses.
The compulsory core courses contribute to the scientific and technological core competences and skills of a computer engineer.
Compulsory Core Courses MA Applied Computer Science - year 1
Students have to complete these compulsory courses (42 ECTS) in the 1st year of the model learning track (MA1).
From the courses listed below, students must obtain 42 ECTS credits.
Compulsory Core Courses MA Applied Computer Science - year 2
These compulsory core courses (19 ECTS) must be successfully achieved in the 2nd year of the model learning track.
From the courses listed below, students must obtain 19 ECTS credits.
The students have to select the module 'Smart Cities' or the module 'Digital Health' or the module 'Digital Earth'. Each module defines a set of compulsory courses of 18 ECTS in year 1 and 3 ECTS in year 2. Students have to successfully achieve all compulsory courses from one of these modules.
Module 'Smart Cities' - Compulsory Courses year 1
Students who have chosen the module 'Smart Cities' have to successfully achieve these compulsory courses in the 1st year (MA1).
From the courses listed below, students must obtain 18 ECTS credits.
Module 'Smart Cities' - Compulsory Courses year 2
Students who have chosen the module 'Smart Cities' have to successfully achieve this compulsory course in the 2nd year (MA2).
From the courses listed below, students must obtain 3 ECTS credits.
| 3ECTS credits - Navigation and Intelligent Vehicles |
Module 'Digital Health' - Compulsory Courses year 1

| 5ECTS credits - Digital Image Processing for Remote Sensing |
Module 'Digital Earth' - Compulsory Courses year 2
Students who have chosen the module 'Digital Earth' have to successfully achieve these compulsory courses in the 2nd year (MA2).
From the courses listed below, students must obtain 3 ECTS credits.
| 3ECTS credits - Remote Sensing of the Environment |
The program of the 2nd year of the standard learning track (MA2) covers the master thesis (24 ECTS), a set of compulsory core courses (19 ECTS), one remaining compulsory course from the module 'Smart Cities', 'Digital Health' or 'Digital Earth' (3 ECTS) and a set of elective courses (14 ECTS).
This module includes a set of recommended elective courses, a module with Entrepreneurial electives and an optional internship.
Students have to select at least 14 ECTS of electives in the 2nd year; the total load of the complete master program has to be at least 120 ECTS.
The elective courses must be related to the topic of the thesis and must be chosen preferably from the recommended electives listed hereunder. Courses from the Master in Applied Sciences and Engineering: Computer Science can be taken as well. Students who want to register for such courses cannot do this in Student’s Self Service, but have to contact their Faculty Secretariat first.
The student’s final selection of electives must always be approved by the Curriculum Board Master Applied Computer Science, that will check the prerequisites and the coherence of the student’s program.
To complete this module, students must obtain 14 ECTS credits.
Recommended Electives MA Applied Computer Science
This module includes the recommended electives. From this module, students can select 14 ECTS. Please consider carefully the prerequisites, co-requisites and required background knowledge before selecting these courses. Pay specific attention to the courses classified as specialised.
From the courses listed below, students must obtain 3 ECTS credits.
Option Entrepreneurship
This module consists out of Entrepreneurial electives. Students can select 0-12 ECTS from this module.
