1 Application for continued program studies, autumn 2013 Computer Science Master s Programme N2COS You apply for courses in your programme autumn 2013 at To be able to apply for courses within your programme you have to be logged in as a programme student, which you will be when you have logged in at the Student portal with your student -id and your password to your student account at GU (see ). As a programme student you are guaranteed admission to the courses given within your programme but that does only apply if and only if you actually apply for the courses through You will receive the admission notification by by July 12, and it has to be answered before July 31 otherwise you will lose your place. You may only apply for 45 hec each semester. If you are admitted with condition the condition will be lifted in time for registration if you fulfill the prerequisites. The prerequisites are not recommendations but demands and must be fulfilled before the course starts. OBS! Since application and tuition fees have been decided for International students (citizens outside EU/EEA) from autumn 2011 and onward it is very important that you apply for your courses as a programme student otherwise you will have to pay these fees. If something is not clear or you have any questions regarding courses or prerequisites please contact the study counselor Suzana Plancak: suzana.plancak@chalmers.se You must answer the national admissions letter you will receive in July or you will lose your place. You must ensure that you fulfil the requirements for a Master s degree when you have finished your programme. Additionally, before you can start your Master's thesis in computer science you will need 90 credits, of which at least 45 credits must be at the advanced level in computer science. At least another 15 credits must be on the advanced level but these can be in any subject (including computer science). The remaining credits can be on any level and in any subject at the University (including more advanced level computer science courses). If you intend to include a specialisation in your degree ( Algorithms, Languages and Logic, Interaction Design, Natural Language Technology, Computer Systems and Networks or Software Engineering ), then you must ensure that you have taken the core courses for that specialisation. Below you will find a list with all the courses that are given autumn semester In the list you can also find courses that have no application code. If you wish to apply for those courses please send in an application to student_office.cse@chalmers.se by April 15th at the latest. In the application you should specify your name and Swedish civic number and also the course code for the course you wish to take.
