Bachelor / Master - UHasselt

EDM is intensely involved in the bachelor and master program of Computer Science at Hasselt University. The complete program currently takes 5 years, consisting of three bachelor years and two master years. An overview of the bachelor and master program in Computer Science is available at the Computer Science  website of UHasselt (only available in Dutch).

The first two years of the bachelor program of Hasselt University differ substantially  from other universities by organising courses in periods of 10 weeks (trimesters). In addition, the program is based on the concept of guided self study, with regard to the gathering knowledge as well as skill development. This approach lays the foundation for  life long education. The master program offers three specialisation areas: databases, multimedia and human-computer interaction. The latter two are intensely connected to and strongly supported by the EDM's research in the areas of 'visual computing'  and 'human-computer interaction'.

EDM faculty members coordinate the majority of the courses in the program and are assisted by PhD students and (post-doc) researchers.  EDM is ideally placed to integrate a well balanced mix of (scientific) knowledge as well as skills into the computer science program.  As a valued research partner of the industry, EDM is also well aware of the industry desired profile of future computer science graduates.
