  2. At least 15 of the 30 credits must involve a paradigm shift;
    1. The contents of the minor must not fall within the field of computer science; or
    2. The contents of an exchange minor may fall within the field of computer science, provided that the minor is taken at an institute of higher education abroad and the educational component of the minor is at an academic level.
  3. The educational component of the minor may not overlap with the programme’s compulsory units of study;
  4. Up to five credits may be devoted to courses on the language and culture of the host country.
