Applied Data Science & Artificial Intelligence at Zuyd University of Applied Sciences

Help doctors to detect and predict diseases in an early stage. Or accelerate the energy transition by
developing intelligent systems that predict our energy needs. Applied Data Science and AI is not
just about numbers and algorithms, but about crafting solutions that enhance our daily lives.

Get ready to challenge real-world problems with a practical approach, using logic for instance.
Technology is important, but there’s more to it. Embrace curiosity and creativity as part of your
identity. You're not just learning about AI; you're shaping it. What is the impact of AI on society?
What about ethics? Dive into understanding and influencing how humans and society interact with
AI. If blending tech-savvy with a human touch excites you, then Applied Data Science and
Artificial Intelligence is your calling.

In your first year, you'll establish a solid foundation in the core areas of Data Science and AI. The
second year takes you deeper and will equip you to tackle increasingly complex problems. During
the first part of the third year, you learn-by-doing in your internship at a regional organization. The
second part is dedicated to electives. Your final year includes two more electives, allowing you to
tailor your learning to your interests and career goals. In your bachelor thesis you can use your
skills and knowledge to solve a specific problem by applying data science and AI techniques.
