Artificial intelligence is the field of research that focuses on development and understanding of intelligent computational processes.

Computational Science seeks to explain the complex world we live in using technological simulations. The curriculum relies heavily on algorithmic-driven procedures but also involves lots of mathematics and logic.

The Master’s programme in Computer Science at the UvA will be offered in close collaboration with the VU Amsterdam in order to provide students with the best educational experience and research facilities.

Information studies at the UvA is a broad and interdisciplinary field, primarily concerned with the analysis, collection, classification, manipulation, storage, retrieval and dissemination of information.

Data scientists are needed to give meaning to the sea of data that surrounds us. The UvA's Data Science track in the Information Studies Master's Programme makes it possible to become a skillful expert in this field.

The Master’s programme Security and Network Engineering at the UvA allows students to specialise in Security and Network Engineering on a more theoretical level.

The Software Engineering programme concerns the broad field of software engineering, a field that is in constant movement due to innovations in technology, design patterns and techniques.
