Exemption for the first year masters Computational Science
If you have a bachelors degree and you previously completed (or are currently enrolled in) a similar masters, you may be eligible for exemption of the first year. To qualify:
- Applicants must have an academic bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, the natural sciences (such as physics, chemistry, biology, etc), or engineering disciplines (such as civil engineering, biomedical engineering, aerospace engineering, etc.).
- You must have completed at least one year of a masters programme in Computer Science, Mathematics, the natural sciences or engineering.

- You must pass an entry exam ("colloquium doctum").
If you think you might be eligible, include documents that support the items mentioned above under 1, 2 and 3 in your preliminary registration. Based on the information you provide and the result of the entry exam we will assess if you qualify for exemption of the first year of the masters Computational Science.
If you qualify for exemption:
• you will register as a student at the University of Amsterdam for the duration of one year,
• your diploma will list 60 ECTS worth of subjects that you fullfilled for the masters Computational Science and state that you are exempted from 60 ECTS,
