Applied Data Science & Artificial Intelligence

About the programme

Build AI that works in the real world. In this 4-year programme in Maastricht, you learn how to turn data into smart systems you can trust. You work with topics like machine learning, data engineering, and AI applications in areas such as healthcare, logistics, and industry. You also look at responsibility: how do you deal with fairness, privacy, and safety when AI affects people’s lives?

Why we?

From day one, you work on real projects and cases, often together with companies and organisations.

• You learn in a community-style environment with students, lecturers, researchers and partners all working in the same space.
• You build a strong base (maths, programming, statistics, data skills) and then move towards advanced AI and data science topics.
• You learn to make AI explainable and responsible, so you can justify choices and handle risks such as bias and privacy issues.
• You train your professional skills while you build, so you learn how to work with stakeholders, present your work, and collaborate in diverse teams.
• You join one shared Community of Innovation with our Computer Science programme, so you develop and learn alongside students who focus on software, systems, and devices.
