- RO-1B: students with relevant working experience: YMC-60400 is also an 'umbrella' code. Instead, choose and register for 6 credits modular skills (MOS) courses including ECS-65500 Argumentation Skills or ECS-66600 Academic Argumentation Skills in Writing and Debate
- RO-1C: Research orientation: YWU-60312.
RO-2: The data science courses are optional, they are not specifically linked to any of the specialisations.
RO-3: Choose 1 internship or choose a second thesis. Replacement of internship by a second thesis is subject to approval by the study adviser.
RO-3A: This internship can only be chosen if the MSc track entrepreneurship is completed. If this course is chosen and completed and the MSc track entrepreneurship is not completed, this internship becomes invalid as fulfilment for RO-3.
