Replacement courses externally admitted students

If you have already completed the equivalent of one of the mandatory courses in the Computer Science Master's programme, you can apply to take a replacement course instead. Like all mandatory courses, the replacement course must contribute to a broad education in Computer Science. The PDF below contains the only courses which are approved to be used as replacement courses.

NOTE: your replacement course cannot be part of your track. For example: If you choose the replacement course DD2421, Machine Learning, you cannot choose the track Cognitive systems or Data Science where the course is included. The replacement course must be completely seperate from your track.
Make sure that you fulfill the necessary prerequisites for the replacement course. Please also note that some courses may have a minimum or maximum number of seats.
