We strongly recommend that your prior studies included preliminary courses in probability and statistics. A degree in information systems or natural sciences qualifies you if your first degree strongly emphasized content from the areas of computer science or mathematics. Depending on your background, bridge modules can complete gaps in the other respective discipline. The program additionally requires proof of good English-language skills corresponding at least to the C1 level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
