Bachelor from the TU/e
TU/e students with a bachelor degree in Computer Science can directly join the IST Master and do not need to take preparatory courses. Non-CS students need the following preparatory courses:
2WBB0 Calculus variant 2
2IT60 Logic and Set Theory
2WF90 Algebra for Security
2DRR00 Linear Algebra and Applications
2IC80 Lab on Offensive Computer Security
2IRR40 Security
There are several possibilities to complete these courses:
1. The courses can be taken as electives during the student's current TU/e bachelor.
2. When bachelor is obtained, the student could follow them as a pre-master program. The exact curriculum of the student’s pre-master will be determined by the admission committee when the student applies.
3. When bachelor is obtained and maximum 3 out of these courses left, the student could follow them as homologation courses as part of the master program.
Non TU/e bachelor:
Students with deviating university (WO) bachelor (other than Computer Science) from a university other than TU/e can only be admitted to the IST master if the deficiency is not more than 15 credits (3 courses of 5 credits). We suggest these students check our CS bachelor program to make an estimate for themselves that the deficiency is not more than 15 credits:

If the student thinks the deficiency is ≤15 credits, they should submit an application on Studylink. Then the application can be formally considered by the Departmental Admission Commtitee.
Otherwise, the student is encouraged to apply for the ES pre-master program on Studylink
