Individual Study Plan and Personalisation
You may submit an individual study plan that differs from the recommended one in terms of the distribution of elective credits across the subject areas indicated here.
You can also include elective exams that are not among the standard options. For example, we can consider courses from other MSc, which focus on AI-related topics or sustainability in computing infrastructures, such as Applied AI in Biomedicine, Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, Natural Language Processing, Green Information Systems and Data Infrastructures.
If you wish to include courses that are not featured in the tables of HPC manifesto, it is strongly recommended that you first consult our Programme Manager. This step can help simplify and speed up the evaluation process. The approval of individual study plans is subject to a review of their consistency with the overall educational offer and the proposed study path.
