Data Science and Artificial Intelligence

First Year

Changes per 2024-25

As of 2024-2025, the previously taught 6 EC Course "Introduction to Logic" is replaced by the 3 EC course "Logic 1" (4031LOGI1) and the 3 EC course “Logic 2” (4031LOGI2). As a result of this change, the course "Logic 2" will be included in the curriculum of the 2nd year from 2025/2026. It will already be given in 2024/2025.

Second Year

Changes per 2024-25

As of 2024-2025, the previously taught 6 EC course "Human-Robot Interaction" is replaced by the 6 EC course "Human-Agent Interaction".

Extra-curricular courses

In the 2nd year, highly motivated students may choose to take extra-curricular courses. It should be noted that these should be taken out of interest; the actual load might be higher than 2 EC.

Third Year

Free choice space

The "free choice space" of 36 ECTS can be filled:

• With either 1 course from the DSAI electives and one of the 30 ECTS minors offered by Leiden University, Delft University of Technology, or Erasmus University Rotterdam

• or with a free choice of 6 courses from the DSAI electives (see table below)

If the free choice space is filled in a different way, permission must be requested in advance from the Board of Examiners. The self-composed package of courses must comprise at least 15 EC of courses in the fields of data science and artificial intelligence, and the Board of Examiners will assess for coherence and level.

Changes per 2024-25

As of 2024-2025, the previously taught 6 EC course "Creative AI" is replaced by the 6 EC course "Generative AI".

As of 2024-2025, the entry requirements for the Bachelor Thesis Project are as follows:

on Febr 1st students must:
1) have completed all courses from their first year
2) have completed at least 66 ECs from second and third year courses.
3) miss at most 27 ECs from second and third year spring courses (apart from the Bachelor Thesis Project).
4) At the pre-reference date, the student misses at most 27 ECs from second and third year spring courses (apart from the Bachelor thesis project) and expects to comply with all rules at the reference date.
5) have completed the course "Research Methods in AI".

Requirement 1 must always be met, in exceptional cases the study advisor can give permission to start when rule 2 or 3 is not met. In case of any questions, please contact the study advisor.
