Research
Research at the Department of Data Science and Knowledge Engineering spans the disciplines and interfaces of artificial intelligence, data science, computer science and applied mathematics.
We develop new tools and methodologies to advance these fields. At the same time, we collaborate with a wide range of institutes both within and outside of Maastricht University and work on diverse applications, including in the fields of health and medicine, logistics, biology, art, physics, cybersecurity, neuroscience and education.
Education
Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (BSc)
A 3-year bachelor's programme offering a unique combination of artificial intelligence, computer science and mathematics.
Artificial Intelligence (MSc)
A 2-year master's programme with a focus on simulating human intelligence for a wide variety of applications: from game design to patient diagnosis.
Data Science for Decision Making (MSc)
A 2-year master's programme with a focus on extracting valuable information from large datasets for widespread applications such as: scheduling customer service agents and optimising supply chains or modelling biological processes.
We also offer an exchange programme for students looking to study abroad.
