In your first year: Programming It is amazing. I think it is the closest thing we have to super power! Drew Houston, creator of Dropbox, on programming Computing Science
In your first year: Logic Knowledge of logic needed to understand basic principles of software logically prove that software does what it is supposed to do build software that can reason, like humans do The most important thing you learn [from studying computer science] is logic, which allows you to evolve with the changing programming language Penny Avril, Vice President of Oracle Computing Science
In your first year: R&D project Computing Science
In your first year: the basis of computing science Including courses on Processors Artificial Intelligence Automata and formal languages Security Modelling & Databases Calculus & Probability Requirements Engineering Computing Science
Help & support in studying Intensive guidance by lecturers acting as mentors study advisors tutor Mentor meetings for reflection discussing choices in your study Remedial mathematics test in 1st semester to see if you need to brush up on some material Computing Science
Binding study recommendation after 1styear (Bindend Studie Advies, BSA) The whole bachelor is 180 ec (study credits) in 3 years In the first year: you must obtain 39 of the 60 ec If not: negative recommendation you cannot continue with your bachelor positive negative stopped early 12 12% deferred total # students 77 75% 11 11% 2 102 2% students Computing Science 2017/2018 Computing Science
In your second year: Cryptography What you will learn The principles behind cryptography Basic cryptographic primitives, their design and usage Latest trends in cryptography for security architectures Computing Science
In your second year: New Devices Lab Computing Science
GiPHouse@RU Real projects for real customers Bachelor and master students working together Since 25 years Some projects: Automatic photo album (Resnap/Albelli) App for carpooling (Capgemini) 3D imaging of sound to optimize sound level (Sorama) Computing Science
