I don't have to follow all the introductory courses. For the credits that are left I can choose elective courses. Are these all the courses from the 7 clusters from the specific and the elective courses?

If you don't have to follow all the introductory courses, you can choose for the amount of credits that are left other courses from the 7 clusters. These are indeed the clusters from the specific courses and those from the elective courses.

To me it seems possible to choose elective courses in the first semester of the first master year. But the specific courses are taught in the second semester. Is it useful to choose some elective courses in the first semester, or are there subject that are given in the elective courses in the second semester?

Normally you only need the introductory courses to be able to follow the full master programme. It's possible to choose some elective courses in the first semester, but then I advise you to read the knowledge you need for these specific courses of your choice. You can always discus this with the professor. of the chosen courses.

The non-technical courses: some of them are not (yet) on the time-table of the courses. Is this a mistake or aren't those time-tables ready yet?

Those non-technical courses are in most cases courses from other faculties. These faculties have their own time-tables of those courses. It's best you click on that course to find the schedule. I can't promise you that all the other faculties have their time-tables ready, but normally these schedules are all available. (They aren't at the time-table of the master programme because then you probably can't read this anymore).

It's very difficult to reach the 12 credits for a lot of interesting combinations of the non-technical courses. Is this a problem if I choose for example 13 credits so that the master program will have 1 credit more?

This isn't a problem at all. As long as you reach the 120 credits for the full master programme, you can easily add a few credits.
