Computer Science
The Computer Science programme at NHL Stenden offers a comprehensive curriculum that equips students with the skills needed to be a professional in the fields of artificial intelligence, digitalisation, robotics and data science. The programme also covers ethical considerations, privacy concerns and cyber security.
During the Computer Science programme you will learn how to program microcontrollers, for example, a small autonomous robot. The programme focuses on areas such as digitalisation, industrial automation and robotics, AI, machine learning and computer vision. You will be trained as a specialist in these areas over the course of the four-year programme. We also focus on areas such as ethics and security. In addition to the technical classes, you also learn professional skills, such as managing project-based work and agile development.
Explore your passion for smart technology and problem solving in the Computer Science bachelor's degree, where you'll develop skills in digitalization, data science, and hardware programming. This new programme in the Netherlands focuses specifically on artificial intelligence and machine learning, addressing the high demand for experts shaping innovations in healthcare, smart technologies, and beyond.
