Minor- or Premaster programme for Computing Science or Information Sciences
Perry GrootMarch 2015
For whom?
Students from HBO / University of applied science
Typically from Computing science, Information scienceArtificial Intelligence, Bio-informatics, Mathematics, etc.
Only with a minor / premaster possible entrance to• Master Computing Science• Master Information Sciences
Admission criteria for the MSc programme
• Minor during BSc programme at HBO / Applied University
• Premaster after graduation
• Standard Minor/premaster = 30 ec
Structure of minor / premaster
Courses from Bachelor programme Informatica (in Dutch)
Choice for BSc courses will depend on choice Master programme / track:
• Computing Science• Data Science• Security• Software Science
• Information Sciences
• Choice for BSc courses also depends on your education, needs to be determined individually

Additional information to determine your program
• Study guide Bachelor Informatica / master Computing Sciencehttp://www.studiegids.science.ru.nl/2014/science/
• Studiekeuze en loopbaancentrumhttp://www.ru.nl/studiekeuzeloopbaancentrum/
• Students / Teachers at Computing Science / Information SciencesLocated in Mercator 1, floors 1-3
• Open dagen / meeloopdagen / proefstudeerdagen / etc.
Additional information to become enrolled
• HBO-Minor students stay enrolled at HAN and take up a so called minor enrollment in Studylink
• You need a minor Admission Statement from me: [email protected]
• You need a Proof of Payed Tuition Fee from HBO as well as approval for doing a minor elsewhere
• Premaster students take up a premaster enrollment through Studylink
• You need an Admission Statement for premaster and this will be given by the Exam Committee => [email protected]
• You pay around € 900 for a standard premaster. You can take 2 years to finish, but there is no restitution and you cannot do any other courses.
Additional information to become enrolled
Steps to follow to become enrolled:• Register through studylink for a minor or pre-master Informatica (Also for
Information science students!)
• Contact me, [email protected], (after june 1) for handling the paperwork. I will need to know:
- If you are a HBO-minor / pre-master student - Proof about your education (scan of Ba diploma, courses and grades)
- Which master program/track you intend to do
• Appointments with me can be made through the student service desk- Tel: 024-3652200- Email: [email protected]
It is best to pick up the paperwork and deliver it at the central student administration in person.
Additional information to become enrolled
• HBO-minor / pre-master is part of the Bachelor program- Bachelor is called “Informatica”- Master is called “Computing Science” or “Information Sciences” This distinction is important when registering in studylink
• There is no longer a bachelor Informatiekunde / Information Sciences- therefore you cannot register for a minor / pre-master Informatiekunde- practical solution is to register for minor / pre-master Informatica
• It is possible to request for exemptions (vrijstellingen). This is very rare for HBO students, but might happen for university students from other disciplines.
Advice
The pre-master program is very difficult. Prepare yourself in advance• Preferably obtain a VWO-diploma Wiskunde B
- Possible options: CCVX, Boswell-beta, NHA• Study the reader “Rekenen”• Prepare your courses in advance, some information is on-line: - Wiskundige Structuren: http://www.cs.ru.nl/~hubbers/courses/ws/
