Questions are based on the following talk about computer science education in Switzerland.
Here in Switzerland you get a bachelor’s degree in two years and three years later a master’s. Usually, people stop at a master’s, but if you want to go on for a Ph.D., that takes another four years.

There are required core courses for bachelor’s and master’s programs. My university is a technical university, so the core courses are the same for everybody — computer science, mathematics, physics, mechanics and so on.
For students specializing in computer science, there is another set of required courses that we call basic computer science. Completing these takes two years. At that point, you can choose a specialty in one of the four areas — system software, information technology, hardware or theoretical computer science.<
