What is the difference between “Core Courses” and “Electives”?

All IIS-students with study start before 2021 have the differentiation between “Core Courses” and “Electives” as part of their program structure. Core Courses are a (large) subset of courses within the sections “Information Systems” and “Informatics”. You are obliged to complete exactly one Core Course in each section of both Information Systems and Informatics, totaling to a number of six Core Courses. Every Core Course also counts as Elective if you have already completed a Core Course in the respective area. Please make sure that your transcript of records in campo lists exactly one Core Course per area. If you need a module to be shifted between the Core and the Elective section of an area and shifting is in accordance with the program structure, please use the form linked below.
