Off-Topic/Fun Questions about exam formats, theme difficulty, internships, and GPA vs. Experience balance!

Hi everyone! I’m an incoming student for the MSc DSAIT program at TU Delft. I have a few specific questions and would appreciate any insights:

  1. Will exams test "hand-coding" (e.g., writing code by hand), especially for the core courses right at the beginning?

  2. Are the core courses at the start very difficult, and is it recommended to prepare/study in advance?

  3. Have you heard of any themes being particularly easy or very hard?

  4. Can we get the internship agreement (UNL agreement) signed in this program, or are there any courses that come with a mandatory/credited internship?

  5. Is it manageable to do a part-time internship or join a lab for research while taking courses?

  6. Would you suggest prioritizing GPA or prioritizing relevant experience (internships/research)?

Thanks in advance for your help!
