Programme B3 (Cohort 2019, third year)
The third year offered in 2021-2022 is the final year of the curriculum that started in 2019. As of this curriculum, there are three specialisation tracks of 12 EC each:
- Software Science (12 EC)
- Data Science (12 EC)
- Cyber Security (12 EC)
and students choose two out of three, comrpising 24 ec in total. According to the programme, you have taken one full specialisation in the second year, as well as one course of the second specialisation. In the third year, you complete the remaining course(s) of your second specialisation.
Below you find a schematic overview of the third year programme as implemented in academic year 2020-2021. Courses that are included in both tracks are listed first; after that, track specific courses are listed. In Q4, the course NWI-IBC047 Law, Privacy and Identity is offered for the first time. This course contains the joint content of the previous courses NWI-IBC037 Law for Computer Scientists and NWI-IBC038 Privacy and Identity. If you are studing in curriculum 2028 or before and still need to complete the original courses, please check the transition rules and consult the study advisor.

** Students can distribute the study load for completion of the portfolio according to what suits them best in relation to the track programme of their choice.
