Core courses

Students choose three core courses in the 1st quarter (Q1) from the table below. The choice is free, but research groups require specific core courses for their specialization, see the table below.

*5SSD0 is only for students of cohort 2021 and earlier who started the track AIES. More information about the curriculum of the track AIES can be found here.

The courses 5XPB0 Nano devices and integration and 5CCA0 Semiconductor physics and materials overlap. Therefore, these courses cannot be chosen both (as determined in the OER). Students who have already passed the exam of 5XPB0 in the bachelor are strongly advised to avoid choosing 5CCA0 as a core course in the master. They can choose another core course instead. See the 5CCA0 course information for more details.
