Transition rules
The transition rules that apply to the master Computing Science can be found in the Education and Exam Regulations(EER). Below, we describe the most relevant changes that apply this year. For transition rules regarding the Societal Specialisations, please check the EER.
- 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 specialisation Cyber Security and AI
In 2023-2024, the new specialisation Cyber Security and AI will start its first year. Please check the relevant section of this prospectus via the above link for more details.
- New courses
In Academic Year 2023-2024, the following courses are offered for the first time:
| NWI-IMC072 AI and Security Seminar (6 EC, Q1-2) |
Mandatory course in the new specialisation Cyber Security and AI |
| NWI-IMC071 Human-Centered Security and AI (3 EC, Q2) | Specialisation elective for specialisation Cyber Security and AI |

The AI and Security seminar is specific to the new specialisation Cyber Security and AI. The other courses may also be chosen as master electives or free electives in the remaining specialisations where they are not included as specialisation elective.
