The primary objective of the "polytechnic" minors organized by the Louvain School of Engineering is to offer the possibility to students enrolled in the engineering science bachelor, to acquire, by selecting a major + minor polytechnic combination, basic training in two specialized domains of engineering science, and thus to broaden his or her range of technical skills, or to prepare the student for a master in engineering science in either of these two domains.

• Master the basic foundations of computer science (programming, algorithms and data structures, computer languages, information systems, …)
• Analyze and solve medium-sized computing and IT problems by applying and combining the acquired knowledge from different computer science and engineering domains.

 

This polytechnic minor is chiefly intended for students enrolled in a bachelor in engineering sciences (civil engineering). All students taking a bachelor in engineering science (civil engineering) thus has access to this minor, except for those students who have already chosen computer science as a major. 

Students enrolled in a bachelor in engineering sciences (architectural civil engineering or bioengineering) as well as other bachelor programmes (science, economic science and business studies or pharmacy science) may get access to the non-engineering minor in computing science. Admission to that minor requires submitting a formal application.

Majors-minors leading directly to a master's course(s) :

For students who have performed well and obtained a bachelor's qualification in engineering sciences - civil engineering, the polytechnic minors guarantee them, as part of a programme which includes one of these minors, unconditional access, without additional training, to the civil engineering master's which corresponds to this minor.

• For the minor in computer science: the master in computer science engineering

Enrollment details

1) Information on the course prerequisites

The courses taken in this minor must necessarily be followed in an order that respects the following requirements :

• LSINF1225 must precede LSINF1121
• LSINF1225 must precede LINGI1131
• LSINF1252 must precede LINGI1113

2) Registration to the minor activities

Registration to activities of the minor should be taken at the same time as registration to the activities of the major. Registration should be perform using in the "virtual office".
