Use this to fill up your program until the total becomes 120 EC, you should need no more than 15 EC for this.

This space can be used to provide deeper specialization or to broaden the scope of your knowledge by taking more fundamental courses, possibly from other tracks or fields. This space can also be used for entrepreneurship courses, language courses, presentation courses or other skills-courses and the like. To a limited extend (at most 10 EC), this space can also be used to address deficits in prerequisite knowledge by taking BSc-level courses. Such courses in the MSc are called homologation courses. At most 6 EC of these homologation courses can be language courses.

The free elective space can also be used for an internship (min. 9 EC, max. 15 EC) or an extra project (max. 15 EC). The latter offers students the opportunity to enhance lab skills (such as a specific training), academic skills (such as writing a paper for publishing or participating in a conference with a poster presentation or paper) or for studying special topics (such as capita selecta with (guest) lecturers).

These courses as well as additional main core and track core courses are a-priori acceptable for the specialization space in a student's IEP, and students determine their IEP (including the specialization courses) in consultation with the signatories of their IEP (i.e. with the master coordinator and responsible professor). Note that the signatories can decide not to accept certain combinations of courses if there is too much overlap between them. Also note that it is possible to mix courses from different suggested profiles when it is accepted by the signatories of the IEP.
