The Master of science in computer science and engineering programme includes:

• core curriculum, mainly the master's thesis (38 ECTS credits);
• focus, mandatory courses (30 ECTS credits);
• at least one option to specialize in one computer science domain (20 to 52 ECTS credits),
• some optional courses (0 to 52 ECTS credits).

A master's thesis is conducted during the last year. On the other hand, as long as it suits his/her educational project and the prerequisites are respected, courses can be placed at will by the student in the first or second year. This is particularly true in the case of a student carrying out part of his studies abroad. Consequently, the years to which activities are assigned in the detailed programme are only indicative.

The whole programme is provided in English, except for the options in biomedical engineering, management and SME creation. For non-French-speaking students, alternatives to the compulsory courses in French will be proposed by the program committee on a case-by-case basis, according to the student's curriculum. In particular, for students who did not obtain their bachelor degree at UCL, the course in religious sciences may be replaced by a supplementary activity to the master thesis, under item FSA2993.
