Education

The Faculty of Science and Engineering offers several study programmes on bachelor's and master's level within the scope of science, technology, engineering and mathematics and several liberal arts and science programmes.

Bachelor's programmes

Data Science and Artificial Intelligence

Computer Science

Computers are everywhere. They can already do a lot: computers paved the way for things like the internet, climate change simulations, video games, and personalized healthcare. At the same time, we still face many challenges that need better computers. That’s why computer scientists continue to push the limits of what these systems can do.

Circular Engineering

To ensure a healthy planet and strong economy for current and future generations, a transition to a circular economy is needed. A circular economy is characterised by a system of closed loops, in which ideally no waste is created, renewable energy sources are used and raw materials, components and products retain their value. This transition asks for innovative scientific and engineering solutions that require a new way of thinking.

Systems Biology and Bioinformatics

Systems Biology is an exciting new, holistic approach that combines biology, computational modelling, and mathematics to create innovative models. The ultimate goal is the development of virtual versions of biological systems, which lead to new insights and eventually predictions concerning the behavior of such systems.
