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 MFo. CS Information Science also linked with NSM: • Business Administration (Bedrijfskunde) at the Nijmegen School of Management (NSM)

Not the biggest research institute, but one of the best!

Prerequisites • For Computing Science • Ba Computing Science • for Data Science: also possible with Ba Artificial Intelligence • for MFo. CS: also possible with Ba Mathematics • For Information Sciences • Ba Computing Science with Bedrijfskunde minor • Ba Bedrijfskunde with Computer Science minor Otherwise: contact the study advisor, Perry Groot

Harde knip You can only start with the master when you have your Bachelor diploma! Earlier softer options for Radboud Bachelor-students no longer apply!

Computing Science curricula (2 years) • Compulsary courses • Specialisation seminar • Philosophy & Ethics between 15 and 30 EC 6 EC 3 EC • Specialisation electives • Electives outside the specialisation • Totally free electives 12 EC • Research Internship • Master thesis 15 EC 30 EC MFo. CS is slightly different: eg. no research internship & 40 EC Master thesis Details at http: //www. studiegids. science. ru. nl → Prospectus

Master Thesis & Research Internship • Research internship (Computing Science only, NWI-IMC 047) - 15 EC, ie. half a semester - In first half of second year - Getting hands-on experience doing research in collaboration with researchers at ICIS, or at external company • Master thesis - In the last semester - Doing a research project & writing this up in a Master thesis - Projects can be done internally or externally – Eg externally at Spacemetric / ATOS / SURFnet / Philips / Social. Sensr / Fontaneda / DNVKEMA / KPMG / Fox IT / NCSC/ SNS bank/ Pinguin Pim / Ortec / Alliander / 4 VAlue / Provincie Gelderland / ASML / Home delivery / APG / Cito / Capgemini / Maastro / B-Wise / First 8 / OCE / ESI / Sigmax / Logica / Integrand / Enviu / RAI / NXP/ ISV World / XEL Media / Key. Gene / NL Net/. . .

Going abroad? Options to do this: 1. ICT in a different culture (studiereis) – 6 EC course 2. Spending one semester/quarter abroad taking courses 3. Doing your Master thesis abroad Plan ahead if you want to go abroad! • Coordinator Erasmus exchanges for ICIS: Janos Sarbo • International Office at Science faculty: io@science. ru. nl, room HG 00. 508 • Central International Office of the university www. ru. nl/io

Going abroad? E. g. Elena Fuentes Bongenaar went to Chalmers, in Gothenburg, Sweden for one semester and then for her MSc thesis to Infineon in Munchen
