Transition rules

The transition rules that apply to the master Computing Science can be found in the Education and Exam Regulations. Below, we describe the most relevant points that apply this year.

General transition rules

Some courses in the master Computing Science are offered once every two years, alternating with other courses. In general, at the request of students who did not pass the exam last year and who need to complete the course to obtain their degree this year, one exam opportunity can be scheduled in the year in which they are not offered. If this applies to you, please contact the study advisor before November 1st.

New courses

As of 2021-2022, the specialisation Cyber Security at Radboud University is fully taught by the Institute for Computing and Information Sciences (and no longer jointly with TU/e). In this context, several new courses are offered. Some courses that were previously offered as 5 EC courses have now been extended to 6 EC. Students who are still studying in the joint TRU/e-Security curriculum should contact the lecturer to determine whether and how they can complete the course for 5 ec only.

Q1-Q2:

• NWI-IMC062 Advanced Network Security (now 6 EC)
• NWI-IMC063 Cryptology (6 EC) -> taught for the first time in 2022-2023
• NWI-IMC064 Engineering Cryptographic Software (3 EC, Q2)
• NWI-IMC065 Selected topics on hardware for security (3 EC, Q2)

Q3-Q4:

• NWI-IMC060 Program verification with types and logic (6 EC)
• NWI-IMC061 Applied Cryptography (6 EC)
• NWI-IMC066 Security Protocol Project (3 EC, Q3)
• NWI-IMC067 Capita Selecta in Cyber Security (6 EC)
• NWI-IMC068 Physical Attacks on Secure Systems (6 EC)

In addition, for specific courses in 2021-2022, the following changes and transition rules apply (courses are listed in order of course code). For transition rules of older curricula: please check the Education and Examination regulations or contact the study-advisor Perry Groot to discuss options.
