The student's master's program 60 in computer science will total a minimum of 60 credits distributed over an annual block comprising a common core (21 credits), a final thesis (15 credits) and units of elective course (24 credits).
This programme may vary depending on students’ prior course of study. If during their previous studies, students have already taken a required class or completed an equivalent activity, they may substitute this course with an activity of their choice from the Master’s degree programme (120) in computer science (provided they follow the programme guidelines). They will also verify that the minimum number of required credits for their diploma has been obtained.Such programmes will be submitted to the appropriate programme commission for approval.
The majority of courses in this programme are offered in English. For non-Francophone students, alternative courses will be suggested by the programme commission as substitutes for required courses taught in French. This will be done on a case by case basis depending on the student’s curriculum.
It is always possible for students to speak in French in class or during evaluations. Specifically, the
graduation thesis/project may be written and defended in either English or French.
For students coming from bachelor's degrees in management information technology or computer science and systems from the Hautes Ecoles in FWB, the program also includes an additional module comprising 45 credits which must be taken as a priority during the first registration in the master's degree. Including this complementary module, the student's complete program should reach 105 credits spread over 2 annual blocks.
