Training accessible at the end of the minor
Students who have passed the minor in computer science have access to the master in computer science.  

Students who have taken a minor in computer science and who are continuing their studies with a master in computer science must include as part of their master programme 4 basic computer science courses (20 credits) which were not already taken as part of their bachelor studies among :
 
LINGI1122, LINGI1123, LINGI1101, LINGI1113, LINGI1131

This addition to the student's master programme will be made without adding more than 5 credits to the total volume of the student's master programme, by replacing some of  the optional courses in this student's master programme by these courses.
