Among these 90 ECTS, at least 72 must be in core subjects in mathematics, physics, computer science, ICT, data science, or information engineering.

If the requirements are not met, it is possible to acquire the missing credits by passing single exams. The methods and costs are set out in Article 41 of the Student Regulations.

You are also required to have knowledge of:

Assessment of academic knowledge #

Your preparation will be evaluated based on:

• Your degree class (L-31 or L-8);
• Your final grade;
• Your exam performance in relevant SSDs.

If you hold an L-31 or L-8 degree and graduated with at least 100/110, you are generally admitted without an interview.

Otherwise, an interview may be required to assess your knowledge in the fundamental areas of computer science.
