Enrolment for Seminars

The Computer Sciences Module is offered as part of the following master's degrees:

Master in Information Technologies
Research Master in Artificial Intelligence
Research Master in Complex Software Systems Development Technologies

Master in Information Technologies students are not required to enrol for any subject beforehand. Instead, students should apply a posteriori for recognition of the credits earned. At this point they are required to enrol for the applicable number of subject credits.

For the other two master's degrees, students have to enrol for subject 103000242, worth 6 ECTS. Students can enrol either at the start of the course or after they have earned the respective credits.
