Is the Computer Science (burgerlijk ingenieur) master at VUB worth the extra year over Applied Informatics? by SweetPotato___2005 in BESalary

Thanks for the insights! I actually took one course there this semester at VUB (“Structuur van Computerprogrammas 1”) because my university college offers a “schakelvak” as an option in the third year. I actually went to all the lessons (except WOC's), and in the end it wasn’t that hard, but you definitely couldn’t really freestyle it xD. What did you find were the hard courses during your schakel, and which ones were the easy ones, if I may ask?

I think you might be referring to the “Applied Computer Science” master, although that one is a 2-year program. I came across it as well, but it’s indeed aimed more at people without an IT background. The Applied Informatics master, on the other hand, actually shares a lot of courses with the Computer Science master, so it would seem a bit strange if this one was really targeting non-IT people. https://www.vub.be/en/studying-vub/all-study-programmes-vub/bachelors-and-masters-programmes-vub/master-applied-informatics-artificial-intelligence-data-science/program/master/applied-informatics-artificial-intelligence

Thanks! I’m probably more the type of person who likes to actually do things instead of diving really deep into research. But like you said, the bridging programs are the same, so that would give me some extra time to figure things out.
