2)Applicants must submit a document (e.g. Transcript of Records) indicating "very good" (based on scored marks and/or grades) achievements in the following computer science related areas: Operating Systems, Networks and Distributed Systems, Database Systems, and Software Engineering. Applicants must also have at least "good" (based on scored marks and/or grades) achievements in subjects like Algorithms and Data Structures, Foundations of Programming, Computer Architecture as well as Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science. Your transcript must show a strong emphasis on these areas, i.e. you must have taken the majority of the corresponding courses during your Bachelor's course of study.
3)Additionally, you are expected to have some programming skills. Therefore, labs or assessments during your studies, internships, work experience, (open-source) projects, and contributions to such projects or software that you have verifiably developed or to which you have contributed is counted toward this admission requirement.
