Programme B2 (Cohort 2022, second year)

In the second and third year of the programme, there is room for specialisation according to your own interests. Curriculum 2022 has three specialisation tracks of 12 EC each, and students take two out of these three (together comprising 24 ec).

• Cyber Security (12 EC)
• Data Science (12 EC)
• Software Science (12 EC).

Please register for the combination of your choice in OSIRIS. N.B.: you are still required to register for the individual courses that you are going to take as well.

The 24 EC specialisation is distributed over the second and third year, as follows.

• In the second year, you complete one specialisation track fully, comprising 6 EC in the autumn semester and 6 EC in the spring semester.
• In addition, you take 6 EC of your second specialisation track in the autumn semester.
• The remaining 6 EC of your second specialisation is done in the spring semester of your third year.

Below you find a schematic overview of the second year programme for cohort 2022 as implemented in academic year 2023-2024. Courses that are mandatory (42 EC in total) are listed first; after that, track specific courses are listed.
N.B. In Q1, you can choose either NWI-IBC019 Operating System Concepts or NWI-IPC025 Hacking in C. The remaining course can be taken in Q1 of year 3.
