In principle all master courses offered at the TU/e can be chosen as free electives.
*Stream electives can be chosen under free electives as well and we do recommend to take more than the required minimum number of stream electives.
* In addition, other courses from the CSE program (course codes starting with 2IM...) as well as courses from the Operations Management and Logistics program (course codes starting with 1B... and 1C) are recommended. Taking courses from these programs as free electives gives you a profile as a Data Science "generalist".
* If you have a prior degree or specialization in a different domain, e.g., Physics, Bio-Technology, HTI, Mathematics, etc., you may consider courses from these programs as a free elective. Taking courses from these programs as free electives gives you a profile as a Data Science "specialist".
Your complete study program including the free electives always requires approval by the examinations committee. Your mentor will help you to compose a balanced program that is very likely to be approved.
Some courses may be prescribed as homologation courses (up to 15 credits) to make up for deficiencies in former education. This prescription is part of the admission decision.If you do not (yet) have a degree from another country or at least 15 credit points in international experience you should reserve 15 credits from the room for free electives to take courses abroad or to do an internship of 15 credits abroad.
