Joost Vossers - Master's Degree in Artificial Intelligence
“What do you think about the programme and the teachers/teaching?
The programme is awesome! My programme is not that big, which makes it possible to form close relations with teachers and supervisors. Like I said, it’s quite diverse, and I’ve learned a lot about the different directions to pursue after my studies. Because of the small scale, the teachers are really involved with students, and they want to hear from us to improve their courses based on what we are interested in.”
Franziska Paul - Master's Programme in Business Development and Internationalism
“What is it that you like with the program so far?
I especially like the practical orientation and the fact that we had the chance to directly work together with well-established companies. Other than that, I like that the modules are run one after the other so you can fully concentrate on each of them.”
Tatiana Silva da Costa - Master's Programme in Accounting
