Multimedia

All students study a core programme of 30 ECTS-credits; do a research training of 6 ECTS-credits and a master thesis of 24 ECTS-credits. Students SHOULD choose one OUT of four specializations: Artificial Intelligence, Multimedia, Software Languages and Software Engineering or Data Management and Analytics. 30 ECTS-credits should be spent to mandatory and optional courses within the chosen specialization. The 24 remaining optional ECTS-credits can be taken within the specialization or from other specializations. Finally, 6 ECTS-credits can be freely chosen from any master level VUB course. This free choice of 6 ECTS-credits has to be specified through the form (see facultary web site). Here is also an interuniversity offer of elective courses announced by the department. This brings the total to 120 ECTS-credits. The master thesis as well as the research training need to be related to the chosen specialization.
