Did you program your first app while you were still in kindergarten? Are you married to your laptop? And are you always looking for logical patterns? Then perhaps you have the DNA of a knowledge engineer. In this bachelor's programme, you'll study logic, intelligent search, and machine learning. You'll collect and organise relevant information using mathematics and smart computer techniques. You also use models and computers for data analysis. The ultimate objective is to develop user-friendly software and intelligent systems for -among others- healthcare, IT, robotics and commercial gaming. Upon graduation, you can look forward to a promising career, as data scientists and knowledge engineers are in high demand. The Harvard Business Review even labeled data scientist as 'The Sexiest Job of the 21th Century'.

Location

Most of the university's departments are on the west bank of the River Meuse, or Maas, that runs through central Maastricht, and a 20-minute walk from Maastricht Central Station. There are also faculties at Randwyck campus, a three-minute train journey from central Maastricht.


Maastricht can be reached from Amsterdam, Brussels, Charleroi, Düsseldorf and Cologne airports, and by train and bus. The public transport network across the Netherlands is quick, clean and efficient. Getting around by bus is easy but most students’ cycle.


The university’s arts, humanities and social sciences faculties are located in Maastricht’s city centre, west of the river Meuse. Most of the university’s inner city properties have official monumental status. As many of these buildings were facing abandonment at the time of their acquirement, the development of an urban university campus has contributed to the preservation and liveliness of Maastricht’s historic city centre.
