The MBI program schedule
The curriculum of this Master program consists of a mandatory and an optional part.
Mandatory part
The mandatory part consists of:
- Introduction to MBI
This ‘course’ introduces you to the MBI staff and students, and supports you in
setting a study plan and your master program planning. Futher information can be found here.
- Four fundamental MBI courses
The following fundamental courses are mandatory
and need to be completed before starting the final thesis project. E-Business,
Enterprise Architecture, Method Engineering, Knowledge Management. For more
details, see Fundamental
courses.
- Thesis project and colloquium
In the final thesis project the student plans and conducts his own research
under the supervision of one of the staff members and an external coach. All
students that perform their thesis project will visit and present their preliminary
results at the MBI colloquium. For more details, see Thesis
project .
Optional part
The optional part consists of courses that enable students to put ’individual accents’.
If you have no deficiency courses to follows, these are six courses in total,
otherwise it is six minus your one or two deficiency courses. The optional courses
are to be selected by the student. At least two optional courses however, should
be taken from the list Optional
courses .
In addition, the courses provided by other information science masters (CKE)
or computing science masters (ST, GMT etc.) can be chosen without any restriction
(note however that some require specific prerequisite knowledge). Students from
other universities or schools are allowed to include a maximum of two bachelor
courses at level 3 in their study plan. Courses from other UU faculties/schools,
Dutch universities or non-Dutch universities need to be approved by the study
advisor c.q. programme coordinator. By exemption, individual courses (’Capita
Selecta’) can be defined. For an overview of all optional courses, see the section
Optional
courses.
Catch up courses for deficiency repairing
If you enter the program from another university or school, a maximum of two
deficiency courses can be individually assigned by the admissions committee
depending on your educational background. For instance, if you have a bachelor
in Computer Science, we assign you to take the bachelor information science
course on Strategic Management and ICT. In any case, it is very important to
send a copy of your diploma and course list with your application (see General
info - Admission procedure).
The image below generally shows the current MBI programme. Mind that deficiency
course(s) are labeled as optional courses. In principle, all course are 7.5
ECTS. A study year is divided into four periods, each containing two course
slots. See www.cs.uu.n/education for more details.
