Student profile
You have a strong foundation in computer science and you might even have some practical experience working in the field after graduation but not so long so you have forgotten your broad theoretical base and study techniques. You are no stranger to mathematics and algorithms and are looking for an educational experience that will give you long term benefits and a skillset that lasts.
You are independent, self-going and extremely motivated and willing to take a lot of responsibility yourself to form your own educational experience, as well as for your future professional career. You like to have many options and a freedom of choice when it comes to courses and specialisation.
A future PhD education is a possibility you might have thought about, but starting to work right after graduation is also something you are considering. You like to keep your options open for now.
