Preparatory year for Master in Computer Sciences [0.0] - SINF1PM

The goal of this programme is to complete the studies of a student in such a way that s/he will be capable to follow a Master programme in computer science.

This preparatory year aims at achieving or strengthening the following scientific and technical competences of the student:

• Improving his or her ability to conceive simple computer systems, by further developing his or her sense of reasoning and abstraction.
• Mastering the necessary mathematical techniques and skills to perform such reasoning.
• Acquiring a know-how that is sustainable and adaptable to the constant evolutions in computer science.
• To learn how to learn and stay up-to-date with these evolutions.

To summarize, the preparatory year allows to consolidate and deepen the student's knowledge of the basics in computer science and to get acquainted with the more rigorous and conceptual way of thinking that is typical to university degrees.

The teaching activities will be evaluated according to the general UCL exam rules and regulations (see: http://www.uclouvain.be/en-enseignement-reglements.html ).
