Structure of a Cluster
A cluster constitutes an area of expertise by a set of compliant courses. Each cluster consists of a gatekeeper which is a mandatory prerequisite for enrolling for other cluster courses.
For all other modules the mandatory prerequisites can be found under “Teilnahmevoraussetzung” where usually the gatekeeper is listed.
It is very likely that computer science students of the University of Vienna have already passed some gatekeepers in their Bachelor studies.
If students want to select courses from a specific cluster they have to select an pass the gatekeeper module first or present evidence of competence (“Nachweis von entsprechenden Vorkenntnissen”), i.e.an equivalent university course passed in one's bachelor programme.
