All courses are worth 5 credits using the new European academic credits measure: ECTS (European Credit Transfer Scheme).

The core of the program is formed by courses that have been especially conceived for the CSIM master and some that are shared from other master programs in our department.  These courses are composed into  the following three groups:

  • Base Courses: These courses are meant to give a solid base and a transversal view onto Cognitive Systems and Interactive Media.
  • Main Optional Pool Courses: These courses are meant to provide a more in depth view on specific branches of Cognitive Systems and Interactive Media.
  • Optional Expansion Pool Courses: These courses are meant to provide an expansion into more applicative branches of Cognitive Systems and Interactive Media.
     

Therefore the student will have to choose:

  • All the Base Courses (20ECTS) 
  • A minimum of 3 courses from the Main Optional Pool Courses (mínimum 15ECTS)
  • A maximum of one course Optional Expansion Pool Courses (maximum 5ECTS).

This adds up to 40ECTS.


The master research project is worth 20 ECTS, which added to the 40ECTS of the courses makes a total of 60ECTS.

All courses are worth 5 credits using the new European academic credits measure: ECTS (European Credit Transfer Scheme).

The core of the program is formed by courses that have been especially conceived for the CSIM master.  These courses are composed into  the following three groups:

  • Base Courses: These courses are meant to give a solid base and a transversal view onto Cognitive Systems and Interactive Media.
  • Specialization in Design, Scripting and Analysis of CSIMs: please check Specialisations
  • Specialization in Cognition, Technology & Integration of CSIMs: please check Specialisations

Therefore you will have to do all the Base Courses and the two courses of one of the two Specializations. This adds up to 40ECTS.

The master project or practicum are worth 20 ECTS and the student will do either one or the other depending on whether the orientation of the master is towards research or professional practice, respectively. These 20ECTS are added to the 40ECTS of the courses making a total of 60ECTS.
