CSE — 2026-2027

Study plans

Named, saved EXAMPLE programs for this curriculum version — one concrete 2-year schedule satisfying the requirements, the same idea as TU/e's own published "Example study plans." Useful when the main Scheme page is mostly electives and doesn't show much on its own.

Name	Total credits	Open issues	Notes
Algorithms (cluster: ALGO)	100 / 120 EC	3	TU/e's own published example study plan for the Algorithms and Theory focus area -- see https://educationguide.tue.nl/programs/graduate-school/masters-programs/computer-science-and-engineering/curriculum/example-study-plans-2/example-study-plan-algorithms-cluster-algo -- reproduced by seed_algo_study_plan.py (see that script's docstring for the judgment calls involved: a stale course substitution, and Year 1's open elective slots plus the source page's own 12 recommended electives). CSE electives and Free electives are intentionally left not-yet-satisfied, matching the source page's own blank elective slots.
Algorithms and Foundations of Computing (clusters: FSA, ALGO)	100 / 120 EC	3	TU/e's own published example study plan for the Algorithms and Theory focus area (FSA and ALGO clusters) -- see https://educationguide.tue.nl/programs/graduate-school/masters-programs/computer-science-and-engineering/curriculum/example-study-plans-2/default-title -- reproduced by seed_algo_foundations_study_plan.py (see that script's docstring for the judgment calls involved). CSE electives and Free electives are intentionally left not-yet-satisfied, matching the source image's own blank elective slots.
Empirical Software Engineering (cluster: SET)	90 / 120 EC	3	TU/e's own published example study plan for the Software and Analytics focus area (SET cluster) -- see https://educationguide.tue.nl/programs/graduate-school/masters-programs/computer-science-and-engineering/curriculum/example-study-plans-2/example-study-plan-empirical-software-engineering-cluster-set -- reproduced by seed_empirical_se_study_plan.py (see that script's docstring for the judgment calls involved, including a quarter discrepancy on 2IMD20). CSE electives and Free electives are intentionally left not-yet-satisfied, matching the source image's own blank elective slots.
Foundations of Systems (cluster: FSA)	95 / 120 EC	3	TU/e's own published example study plan for the Algorithms and Theory focus area (FSA cluster) -- see https://educationguide.tue.nl/programs/graduate-school/masters-programs/computer-science-and-engineering/curriculum/example-study-plans-2/example-study-plan-foundations-of-systems-cluster-fsa-1 -- reproduced by seed_foundations_of_systems_study_plan.py (see that script's docstring for the judgment calls involved). CSE electives and Free electives are intentionally left not-yet-satisfied, matching the source image's own blank elective slots.
Software Engineering and Formal Methods (clusters: SET, FSA)	90 / 120 EC	5	TU/e's own published example study plan spanning the Software and Analytics (SET) and Algorithms and Theory (FSA) focus areas -- see https://educationguide.tue.nl/programs/graduate-school/masters-programs/computer-science-and-engineering/curriculum/example-study-plans-2/example-study-plan-software-engineering-and-formal-methods-clusters-set-fsa -- reproduced by seed_se_formal_methods_study_plan.py (see that script's docstring for the judgment calls involved). Deliberately has no chosen deepening area and no seminar pick -- the source image itself leaves the seminar an explicit 'choose one of' between Seminar SET and Seminar FSA, and splits its own courses evenly across all 3 focus areas rather than favoring one. Deepening, Seminar, CSE electives, and Free electives are all intentionally left not-yet-satisfied as a result.
Systems (cluster: IRIS)	90 / 120 EC	3	TU/e's own published example study plan for the Architecture and Systems focus area (IRIS cluster) -- see https://educationguide.tue.nl/programs/graduate-school/masters-programs/computer-science-and-engineering/curriculum/example-study-plans-2/example-study-plan-systems-cluster-iris -- reproduced by seed_systems_study_plan.py (see that script's docstring for the judgment calls involved). CSE electives and Free electives are intentionally left not-yet-satisfied, matching the source image's own blank elective slots.
Systems Intelligence (cluster: IRIS)	90 / 120 EC	3	TU/e's own published example study plan for the Architecture and Systems focus area (IRIS cluster, AI-leaning) -- see https://educationguide.tue.nl/programs/graduate-school/masters-programs/computer-science-and-engineering/curriculum/example-study-plans-2/example-study-plan-systems-intelligence-cluster-iris -- reproduced by seed_systems_intelligence_study_plan.py (see that script's docstring for the judgment calls involved). CSE electives and Free electives are intentionally left not-yet-satisfied, matching the source image's own blank elective slots.
