Study Plan
Rules
The following specific rules apply, in addition to, or as a refinement of, the standard rules that apply to every computer science master student.
In Q1 the student agrees on a study plan with the program mentor: Kaitai Liang in Delft, Florian Hahn in Twente; if you are an EIT student please check here.
If necessary, the study plan can be revised later, in consultation with the program mentor.
Delft
Students must select:
- CDA, CRM, NeS-Delft, Crp, MCS, and SyS;
- at least five out of ASA, BCE-Delft, Bio, DiA, FDA, PET, Q101, Q201, SDM, STR, SeV, and LBS.
- at least three out of CoE, Cap = {CpS, CpE, CpB}, CCS, CSM, eLaw, EoS and UCS.
- other courses as agreed with the program mentor.
Twente
Students must select:
- CoE, CRM, InS-Twente, Crp, and SoS;
- at least three out of CDA, ESA, PET, SDM, SCC, BCT, Bio, SSI, SeV, SyS, SyV;
- at least three out of Cap = {CpS, CpE, CpB}, CCS, CSM, eLaw, EoS and UCS;
- other courses as agreed with the program mentor.
Choosing technical courses
It may be helpful to consider the following classifications of the technical courses:
Level
Please choose introductory as well as advanced courses, and make sure that you include the prerequisites for all courses that you select.
- Introductory: Crp, InS-Twente, Nes-Delft, LBS, and SoS;
- Advanced: BCE-Delft, BCT-Twente, CDA, ESA, PET, SeV, SCC, SDM, SyS, and SSI.
Focus
Please choose at least an introductory course from each of the four technical focus areas so that you have solid basis, and feel free to deepen your knowledge in a specific focus area.
- Network security focus: ESA, InS-Twente/NeS-Delft, and SSI;
- Software security focus: SoS/LBS, SeV, and STR;
- Data security focus: CDA, PET, and SDM;
- System security focus: BCE-Delft/BCT-Twente, SCC, and SyS.
Overlap
Please be aware that some courses overlap.
- BCE-Delft and BCT-Twente overlap and cannot be taken both.
- InS-Twente, and NeS-Delft overlap and cannot be taken both.
- SoS and LBS overlap and cannot be taken both.
4TU.CybSec Certificate
Computer science master students who take at least 80 EC cyber security related credits for courses and the final year project will be considered as cyber security professionals and they will receive an appropriate certificate to testify to this accomplishment.
Study plan forms
4TU.CybSec master students can download and complete an individual study plan form from Twente or from Delft. EIT-Digital students in Twente can download an individual studyplan form for the Entry year or the Exit year.
Once completed please discuss your study plan with the program mentor.
