  1. Master programmes in Computing Science & Information Sciences Erik Poll March 2018

  2. Master Programmes & Specialisations • Computing Science (2 year, 120 ec) Four specialisations • Data Science • Software Science • Cyber Security (TRU/e Master) • Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFoCS) • Information Sciences (1 year, 60 ec) • Societal specialisations (in combination with Data or Software Science) • Science, Management, andInnovation (SMI) • Science in Society (SIS)

  3. What fascinates you? • Data mining & search technology: Data Science • Building software, analysing software : Software Science • Security : Cyber Security • Mathematics & logicsunderlyingcomputation: MFoCS • Using ICT in businesses & organisations: Information Sciences

  4. Specialisation coordinators Data Science Information Sciences Arjen de Vries Eelco Herder Software Science Frits Vaandrager • MFoCS • Jurriaan Rot Cyber Security LejlaBatina Peter Schwabe

  5. Links with research groups Computing Science Master specialisations linked with ICIS groups: • Data Science http://www.ru.nl/datascience/ • Digital Security http://www.ru.nl/ds/ • Software Science http://sws.cs.ru.nl/ also for MFoCS Information Sciences also linked with NSM: • Business Administration (Bedrijfskunde) at the Nijmegen School of Management (NSM)

  6. Not the biggest research institute, but one of the best! 2010 2015

  7. Prerequisites • For Computing Science • Ba Computing Science • for Data Science: also possible with Ba Artificial Intelligence • for MFoCS: also possible with Ba Mathematics • For Information Sciences • Ba Computing Science with Bedrijfskunde minor • Ba Bedrijfskunde with Computer Science minor With a HBO degreeyoumaybeabletoenrollafterdoing a pre-master. Contact the study advisor, Perry Groot

  8. Harde knip You can only start with the master when you have your Bachelor diploma!

  9. Computing Science curricula (2 years) • Compulsary courses between 15 and 30 EC • Specialisation seminar 6 EC • Philosophy & Ethics 3 EC • Specialisationelectives+/- 18 EC chosenfrom a pre-defined list • Electives+/- 18 EC essentially, any Master CS courses • Free electives6 EC any courses • Research Internship 15 EC • Master thesis 30 EC MFoCS is slightly different: eg. no research internship & 40 EC Master thesis Preciserulesandlists of courses in theprospectus (akastudiegids)

  10. Information Science curriculum (1 year) • Compulsary courses 15 EC • Specialisation electives18 EC • Free choice6 EC • Philosophy & Ethics 3 EC • Master thesis 18 EC Preciserulesandlistsof courses in theprospectus (akastudiegids)
