Analysis for large-scale informatics projects. Identifying tasks that qualify for automatization, understanding underlying business processes, determining the corresponding consumer needs. This requires the necessary knowledge for fluent communication with people working in other disciplines.
Design of large-scale informatics systems. Abstraction and decomposition of the specific problem to arrive at a feasible solution. Identifying components that could contribute to a solution (e.g. software library, type of network, kind of database). Documenting the chosen solutions on different levels of abstraction.
Restructuring existing informatics systems. Identifying problematic components, selecting solution strategies, implementing the necessary adjustments without compromising the existing system´s functioning.
Quality control. Planning the necessary check-ups while carrying out informatics projects in order to attain the previously specified quality standards (as to reliability, practicality of maintenance, safety ...). Drawing lessons from informatics projects that have been carried out, in order to optimize quality norms wherever necessary.
Selecting techniques, methods, languages, architectures, taking into account their inherent limitations and the fact that information on concrete solutions is usually commercially coloured. Making strategic decisions in this respect: e.g. how do we protect our network? What type of database? What role for formal specifications? Scientific motivation of the decisions that have been made.
Reporting the progress and status of informatics projects to clients (meaning non-information scientists) and experts from other fields, both orally and in writing.
Leading a team of information scientists, including (a) assessment of the necessary means (time, budget, instruments, manpower, competences), (b) division of tasks on the basis of technical competences, (c) time planning of the tasks, (d) following and adjusting the planning.

A student´s final result is a weighted average of the exam results the student has obtained for all the programme components of his/her training programme. In calculating the final result, the credits corresponding to the various programme components are used for weighting the results obtained for those components.
The final result is expressed as an integer out of 100.
A student whose final result is less than 50 out of 100 can never be declared successful.
A student is successful for the training programme if he/she has obtained credits for all the programme components in his/her training programme.
The examination board can declare a student who has not obtained credits for all the programme components successful if it can substantiate why it believes that the objectives of the programme have been achieved.
You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test if you come from a non-English speaking country.
