Elective packages

Orientation on your thesis theme and specialisation/electives package starts in the very first year of your MSc programme. You will explore the topics or types of research that interest you in order to choose your specialisation/electives package.

Choosing a specialisation/electives package is in fact the start of your graduation. General information sessions and Q&A sessions are scheduled in April/May. Please keep an eye on Brightspace.

During this elective package you will be provided with knowledge and capabilities to design and manage ICT artefacts in organizations.

Elective package Water and Delta Systems

Water is essential for societies and eco-systems. Globally, water systems are under pressure from ongoing socio-economic development and climate change.

Elective package Cyber Security

Our society has become very dependent on IT. We communicate digitally, meet friends in cyberspace, perform e-transactions, control critical infrastructures using IT, act as e-activists, and might even be involved in cyber warfare. During this elective you n develop an understanding of cyber security challenges from the business and governance perspectives.

Elective package Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a technique by which computers perform multiple tasks, including cognitive tasks, which in the past have only been performed by humans. For AI to support humanity, human values should be central in the development of AI systems. As such, from the “comprehensive engineering” perspective, TPM intends to incorporate AI as an inseparable element of the society in research and in education. This implies “studying AI in society” as well as “using AI to understand society”.
